TL;DR: Results indicate that the four species of the V. fischeri group represent a lineage within the Vibrionaceae that is distinct from other genera, and propose their reclassification in a new genus, Aliivibrio gen. nov.
Abstract: Four closely related species, Vibrio fischeri, Vibrio logei, Vibrio salmonicida and Vibrio wodanis, form a clade within the family Vibrionaceae; the taxonomic status and phylogenetic position of this clade have remained ambiguous for many years. To resolve this ambiguity, we tested these species against other species of the Vibrionaceae for phylogenetic and phenotypic differences. Sequence identities for the 16S rRNA gene were > or =97.4 % among members of the V. fischeri group, but were < or =95.5 % for members of this group in comparison with type species of other genera of the Vibrionaceae (i.e. Photobacterium and Vibrio, with which they overlap in G+C content, and Enterovibrio, Grimontia and Salinivibrio, with which they do not overlap in G+C content). Combined analysis of the recA, rpoA, pyrH, gyrB and 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the species of the V. fischeri group form a tightly clustered clade, distinct from these other genera. Furthermore, phenotypic traits differentiated the V. fischeri group from other genera of the Vibrionaceae, and a panel of 13 biochemical tests discriminated members of the V. fischeri group from type strains of Photobacterium and Vibrio. These results indicate that the four species of the V. fischeri group represent a lineage within the Vibrionaceae that is distinct from other genera. We therefore propose their reclassification in a new genus, Aliivibrio gen. nov. Aliivibrio is composed of four species: Aliivibrio fischeri comb. nov. (the type species) (type strain ATCC 7744(T) =CAIM 329(T) =CCUG 13450(T) =CIP 103206(T) =DSM 507(T) =LMG 4414(T) =NCIMB 1281(T)), Aliivibrio logei comb. nov. (type strain ATCC 29985(T) =CCUG 20283(T) =CIP 104991(T) =NCIMB 2252(T)), Aliivibrio salmonicida comb. nov. (type strain ATCC 43839(T) =CIP 103166(T) =LMG 14010(T) =NCIMB 2262(T)) and Aliivibrio wodanis comb. nov. (type strain ATCC BAA-104(T) =NCIMB 13582(T) =LMG 24053(T)).

TL;DR: Gene acquisition and gene loss may be related to the emergence of A. salmonicida as a fish pathogen and the degeneration of 370 genes and consequent loss of specific functions suggest that A. Salmonicida has a reduced metabolic and physiological capacity in comparison to related Vibrionaceae species.
Abstract: Background
The fish pathogen Aliivibrio salmonicida is the causative agent of cold-water vibriosis in marine aquaculture. The Gram-negative bacterium causes tissue degradation, hemolysis and sepsis in vivo.

TL;DR: This study suggests that around 15 °C might be the optimum temperature for the production of safe and tasty saeu-jeot, and Halanaerobium was likely responsible for theProduction of acetate, butyrate, and methylamines.

TL;DR: The obtained data expands the existing body of knowledge about the bioluminescence spread among the bacteria of Nordic latitudes and provides complex information that is crucial for their precise identification.
Abstract: Bioluminescence is a spectacular feature of some prokaryotes. In the present work, we address the distribution of bioluminescence among bacteria isolated from the White Sea finfishes. Luminous bacteria are widely distributed throughout the World Ocean. Many strains have been isolated and described for tropical latitudes, while Nordic seas still remain quite a white spot in studying bioluminescence of bacteria. We describe the strains related to the two main genera of luminous bacteria, Photobacterium and Aliivibrio, as well as Shewanella and Vibrio. They are related to families Vibrionaceae and Shewanellaceae of the Gammaproteobacteria class. Here, we at the first time, report the bioluminescence of the Enterobacteriaceae Kosakonia cowanii. Moreover, we applied the polyphasic approach to identify and describe the isolated microorganisms. The data on sequencing, diversity of cell fine structure, and light emission spectra at room temperature on the solid medium are discussed. The bacteria are characterized by features in their light emission spectra. It may reflect possible molecular mechanisms of bioluminescence as well as features of bacterial composition. The obtained data expands the existing body of knowledge about the bioluminescence spread among the bacteria of Nordic latitudes and provides complex information that is crucial for their precise identification.

TL;DR: It is shown that strain LFI1238 and a panel of naturally occurring V. salmonicida strains are poor biofilm producers and the regulatory effect of LitR on colony morphology and biofilm formation is temperature sensitive and weak or absent at temperatures above the bacterium's upper threshold for pathogenicity.
Abstract: Vibrio (Aliivibrio) salmonicida is the etiological agent of cold water vibriosis, a disease in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) that is kept under control due to an effective vaccine. A seawater temperature below 12°C is normally required for disease development. Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell density-regulated communication system that bacteria use to coordinate activities involved in colonization and pathogenesis, and we have previously shown that inactivation of the QS master regulator LitR attenuates the V. salmonicida strain LFI1238 in a fish model. We show here that strain LFI1238 and a panel of naturally occurring V. salmonicida strains are poor biofilm producers. Inactivation of litR in the LFI1238 strain enhances medium- and temperature-dependent adhesion, rugose colony morphology, and biofilm formation. Chemical treatment and electron microscopy of the biofilm identified an extracellular matrix consisting mainly of a fibrous network, proteins, and polysaccharides. Further, by microarray analysis of planktonic and biofilm cells, we identified a number of genes regulated by LitR and, among these, were homologues of the Vibrio fischeri symbiosis polysaccharide (syp) genes. The syp genes were regulated by LitR in both planktonic and biofilm lifestyle analyses. Disruption of syp genes in the V. salmonicida ΔlitR mutant alleviated adhesion, rugose colony morphology, and biofilm formation. Hence, LitR is a repressor of syp transcription that is necessary for expression of the phenotypes examined. The regulatory effect of LitR on colony morphology and biofilm formation is temperature sensitive and weak or absent at temperatures above the bacterium's upper threshold for pathogenicity.
