Isolation of Shewanella putrefaciens from Goldfish (Carassius auratus auratus)

چکیده
In the present study, the etiological agent that caused mortality in goldfish at an aquarium company located in Bursa in northwestern Turkey was identified. Diseased fish were lethargic, displaying a loss of appetite, ascites, and exophthalmia. Internal examination revealed that the kidney was surrounded by exudate and that the spleen and liver were pale. Microbiological examination showed that the kidney, spleen, and liver were infected by gramnegative, cytochrome oxidase, catalase, and H2S positive rod-shaped bacteria identified as Shewanella putrefaciens. Identification of the bacteria was confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Histopathological examination of the kidney, spleen, and liver revealed necrosis in kidney tubules and the presence of hepatocytes and hemosiderin in melanomacrophages. According to the disk diffusion method, isolates were sensitive to enrofloxacin (5 μg), florfenicol (30 μg), gentamycin (120 μg), and sulfamehoxazole+ trimethoprim (25 μg).

Effect of Light and Music on Growth Performance and Survival Rate of Goldfish (Carassius auratus)
Environmental enrichment is one of the methods for improving fish growth performance. In the present trial, the effects of both light color and music on growth performance and survival of goldfish (Carassius auratus) (initial mean weight: 4.15±0.08 g) were investigated for 2 months. Two light color treatments (red light and white light) and three music treatments (M0: without music, M30:30 min...

Lactobacillus casei probiotic is one of the probiotics used in aquaculture industry. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Lactobacillus casei probiotic on the growth performance, blood parameters, and intestinal microbial flora in goldfish (Carassius auratus) for 60 days. In this study, 180 fish with an average weight of 10.11± 0.16 g were randomly distributed into two treatments...
متن کاملEffects of cortisol on tesicular apoptosis in goldfish (Carassius auratus)
Apoptosis is a programmed cell death that has been attributed to the action of stress hormones, such as cortisol. We investigated the in vitro effect of cortisol in goldfish (Carassius auratus) mature (GSI: 2.75-4.65) or immature (GSI: 1.94-2.4) testes. Testes were taken out and transferred into culture medium (M 199), cut into 20 mm thick slices and supplemented with fetal bovine serum (FBS), ...
متن کاملPCR survey of hox genes in the goldfish Carassius auratus auratus.
A tetraploidization event took place in the cyprinid lineage leading to goldfishes about 15 million years ago. A PCR survey for Hox genes in the goldfish Carassius auratus auratus (Actinopterygii: Cyprinidae) was performed to assess the consequences of this genome duplication. Not surprisingly, the genomic organization of the Hox gene clusters of goldfish is similar to that of the closely relat...
