Download or read book Crystalline Bacterial Cell Surface Layers written by Uwe B. Sleytr and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-12-16 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crystalline surface layers (S-layers) represent an almost universal feature of archaebacterial cell envelopes and can be found in gram-positive and gram-negative eubacterial species from nearly all phylogenetic branches. S-layers consist of a single protein- or glycoprotein species and thus can be considered as one of the most primitive membrane structures developed during evolution. Prokaryotes carrying S-layers are ubiquitously found in every part of the biosphere. This supports the concept of a general supramolecular "porous crystalline surface layer" fulfilling a broad spectrum of functions which are strongly dependent on the particular environmental and ecological conditions. Their structural simplicity makes S-layers a suitable model for analyzing structure-function relationships as well as dynamic aspects of membrane morphogenesis.
Download or read book Bacterial Fish Pathogens written by Brian Austin and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1993-09-30 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expanded and updated, this second edition considers fish diseases in the context of the fish's environment, and includes coverage of many aspects of microbiology. The authors provide information on the structure of fish in order to help familiarize readers with general fish anatomy. All the bacterial taxa which have been reported as fish pathogens are included, and the material is subdivided for easy reference into sections which deal with characteristics of the diseases, isolation methods, characterization of the pathogens, diagnosis, epizootilogy, pathogenicity mechanisms and control. Written by bacteriologists for microbiologists, the book tabulates the identification procedures, and gives characteristics of pathogens, the diseases and their control. As farmed fish are of greater commercial importance, and the consequences of losses attributable to bacterial fish pathogens therefore of greater economic consequence, the authors concentrate on these rather than on wild stocks.

Download or read book Aeromonas Salmonicida and Aeromonas Hydrophila liquefaciens as Pathogens of Salmonid Fish A Selective Aeromonas Medium B Comparative Characteristics of Virulent and Avirulent Strains of Aeromonas Salmonicida C Effect of Water Temperature on Aeromonas Infections written by Ralph Hines McCoy and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies were directed toward the formulation of a selective Aeromonas medium that would permit the isolation of Aeromonas species in the presence of other common bacterial flora. The final composition of this medium, PBG Agar, in grams per liter, is: Bacto-peptone, 10; Bacto-beef extract, 10; glycogen, 4; NaCl, 5; sodium lauryl sulfate, 0. 1; brom thymol blue, 0. 1; agar, 15. The pH of the medium after autoclaving is 6. 9-7. 1. Any organism isolated from natural sources that gives characteristic yellow colonies in this medium under the specified conditions may presumptively be identified as either Aeromonas, Vibrio, or Pleisomonas. Aeromonas colonies are frequently surrounded by a yellow acidic halo in the green medium, and occasionally produce a small bubble of gas under the non-nutrient agar overlay. Biochemical and antigenic analyses were performed in an attempt to differentiate virulent (LD50 from one to 103 colony forming units per fish) from avirulent (LD50 greater than 106 cfu) strains of A. salmonicida. The virulent and avirulent representatives gave similar responses in the following tests: onset and duration of bacteremia in juvenile coho salmon after intramuscular injection; time of recovery of the organism from fish kidney during an acute infection; production of a leucocytolytic agent active on juvenile steelhead trout white blood cells at a dilution of 1;3000; a factor cytotoxic to cultured chinook embryo cells at a dilution of 1:320; formation of eight extracellular enzymes including elastase, several proteases and hemolysins; and the failure to produce hyaluronidase. There were two real differences observed between a virulent strain (As-SS-70) and an avirulent strain (As-Sil) of Aeromonas salmonicida. When grown on 1% peptone agar containing 1. 5% NaCl, colonies of As-SS-70 were opaque, convex, and granular while those of As-Sil were translucent, less convex, and non-granular. An attenuated strain of As-SS-70 gradually assumed avirulent colony characteristics with continued passage on artificial media. Sonicates of As-SS-70 and As-Sil were concentrated about 20 fold by dialysis against Polyethylene Glycol 4000. Use of these concentrated antigens and As-SS-70 rabbit antiserum demonstrated a unique antigen in the As-SS-70 sonicate by immunodiffusion techniques. This unique precipitin line was not observed in the As-Sil sonicate, or when anti-As-Sil rabbit antiserum was used. This was the second difference found between the virulent and avirulent strains. Groups of juvenile coho salmon were injected intramuscularly with about two LD50 doses of virulent A. salmonicida and held at temperatures of 74°F, 69°F, 64°F, 59°F, 54°F, 49°F, 44°F, and 39°F. Water temperatures of 59°F and above produced high mortality rates, with losses exceeding 40 percent at 54°F and 49°F. Mortality rates were very low at temperatures of 44°F and 39°F. The mean time to death was estimated to be 3.5 days at 69°F, with steady increases as water temperature decreased, to a maximum of 31 days at 39°F. Thus, the disease process was accelerated progressively as water temperature increased. When juvenile spring chinook salmon were intraperitoneally injected with about 1.5 LD50 doses of A. salmonicida, the mean time to death was estimated to be 2.9 days at 74°F, and was found to progressively increase as water temperature decreased, to a maximum of 18.4 days at 39°F. The effect of temperature on the growth rate of A. salmonicida in vitro appeared to be similar to its effect on the rate of progress of the infection in juvenile salmonids. The percentage of fatal infections among juvenile steelhead trout and coho salmon injected with Aeromonas hydrophila was high at temperatures of 64°F and above, moderate at 59°F, and zero at 49°F and below.

Download or read book Diseases of Amphibians and Reptiles written by Gerald Hoff and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While diseases of free-ranging and captive mammalian and avian wildlife species have received considerable interest in the past 25 years, those of amphibians and reptiles (collectively, the herptiles) generally have been assigned lesser importance. The literature concern ing disease in herptiles is widely scattered, consisting chiefly of case reports and prevalence surveys, and with heavy emphasis on captive reptiles. The dynamics of the host-agent-environment relationship have been studied for only a few diseases. This diverse data base is primarily a function of the paucity of investigators whose chief interest is in diseases of herptiles. This first edition represents an effort to bring together some of the diffuse knowledge on infectious and non-infectious diseases of free-ranging and captive herp tiles. Issue may be taken with the choice of topics; how ever, predominant diseases, as well as some diseases of lesser prominence, are presented. The editors were forced to accept certain omissions, particularly with amphibian diseases, simply for lack of contributors. The resulting text, however, we hope will be of value to veterinarians, herpetolo,gists, wildlife disease investigators, wildlife managers, zoo curators, and university students. G.L. Hoff F.L.
