During growth of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus on (2-14C)uracil-labeled Escherichia coli approximately 50% of the radioactivity is incorporated by the bdellovibrio and most of the remainder is released as free nucleic acid bases. Kinetic studies showed that 50 and 30S ribosomal particles and 23 and 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (RNA) of E. coli are almost completely degraded by the first 90 min in a 210- to 240-min bdellovibrio developmental cycle. Synthesis of bdellovibrio ribosomal RNA was first detected after 90 min. The specific activity and the ratio of radioactivity in the bases of the synthesized bdellovibrio RNA was essentially the same as those of the substrate E. coli. The total radioactivity of the bdellovibrio deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) exceeded that in the DNA of the substrate E. coli cell, and the ratio of radioactivity of cytosine to thymine residues differed. Intraperiplasmic growth of B. bacteriovorus in the presence of added nucleoside monophosphates (singly or in combination) significantly decreased the uptake of radioactivity from (2-14C)uracil-labeled E. coli; nucleosides or nucleic acid bases did not. It is concluded that the RNA of the substrate cell, in the form of nucleoside monophosphates, is the major or exclusive precursor of the bdellovirbrio RNA and also serves as a precursor for some of the bdellovibrio DNA.  相似文献

During growth of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus on [2-14C]deoxythymidine-labeled Escherichia coli, approximately 30% of the radioactivity was released to the culture fluid as nucleoside monophosphates and free bases; the remainder was incorporated by the bdellovibrio. By 60 min after bdellovibrio attack, when only 10% of the E. coli deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) had been solubilized, the substrate cell DNA was degraded to 5 X 10(5)-dalton fragments retained within the bdelloplast. Kinetic studies showed these fragments were formed as the result of sequential accumulation of single- and then double-strand cuts. DNA fragments between 2 X 10(3) and 5 X 10(5) daltons were never observed. Chloramphenicol, added at various times after initiation of bdellovibrio intraperiplasmic growth on normal or on heated E. coli, which have inactivated deoxyribonucleases, inhibited further breakdown and solubilization of substrate cell DNA. Analysis of these intraperiplasmic culture deoxyribonuclease activities showed that bdellovibrio deoxyribonucleases are synthesized while E. coli nucleases are inactivated. It is concluded that continuous and sequential synthesis of bdellovibrio deoxyribonucleases of apparently differing specificities is necessary for complete breakdown and solubilization of substrate cell DNA, and that substrate cell deoxyribonucleases are not involved in any significant way in the degradation process.  相似文献

The intraperiplasmic growth rate and cell yield of wild-type Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109J, growing on Escherichia coli of normal composition as the substrate, were not markedly inhibited by 10-3 M methotrexate (4-amino-N10-methylpteroylglutamic acid). In contrast, the growth rate and cell yield of the mutant 109Ja, growing axenically in 0.5% yeast extract +0.15% peptone, were strongly inhibited by 10-4 and 10-3 M methotrexate. Thymine, thymidine, and thymidine-5'-monophosphate, in increasing order of effectiveness, partially or completely reversed the inhibition. E. coli depleted of tetrahydrofolate and having an abnormally high protein/deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) ratio was obtained by growing it in the presence of methotrexate. B. bacteriovourus grew at a normal rate on these depleted E. coli cells but with somewhat reduced cell yield. Mexthotrexate (10-3 M) inhibited intraperiplasmic growth of bdellovibrio on the depleted E. coli somewhat more than it inhibited growth on normal E. coli, but the effects were small compared with inhibition of axenic growth of the mutant. Total bdellovibrio DNA after growth on the depleted E. coli in the presence or absence of methotrexate exceeded the initial quanity of E. coli DNA present. Thymidine-5'-monophosphate (10-3 M) largely reversed the inhibition and increased the amount of net synthesis of DNA. The data are consistent with the prediction that intraperiplasmic growth of B. bacteriovorus should be insensitive to all metabolic inhibitors that act by specifically preventing synthesis of essential monomers. The data also indicate that B. bacteriovorus possesses thymidylate synthetase, thymidine phosphorylase, and thymidine kinase, and has the potential to carry out de novo DNA synthesis from non-DNA precursors during intraperiplasmic growth. The results also suggest that methionyl tRNAfMet is not required for initiation of protein synthesis by B. bacteriovorus.  相似文献

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus grown axenically or intraperiplasmically on Escherichia coli has pathways for the interconversion of pyrimidines and the synthesis of pyrimidine nucleoside 5'-triphosphates similar to those found in the enteric bacteria. Minimal differences in enzyme activities were observed for axenically and intraperiplasmically grown cells. As might be expected for an organism which takes up deoxyribonucleoside 5'-monophosphates per se, high levels of enzymes which catalyze the generation of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates from monophosphates were found. In addition, all enzymes of the thymine salvage pathway, except for thymidine kinase, were directly demonstrated in wild-type strains. It was possible to demonstrate this activity only indirectly owing to an inhibitor in wild-type extracts. Investigations with inhibitors of pyrimidine interconversion reactions showed that essentially all B. bacteriovorus deoxyribonucleic acid not synthesized from units derived from E. coli deoxyribonucleic acid is made from components of the substrate organism's ribonucleic acid. Evidence for de novo pyrimidine synthesis from the amino acid level was not found for B. bacteriovorus grown on E. coli that had a high protein/deoxyribonucleic acid ratio or on normal E. coli. The potential for de novo pyrimidine synthesis by intraperiplasmically grown B. bacteriovorus, however, cannot be totally ruled out on the basis of these investigations.  相似文献

During intraperiplasmic growth of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109J on Escherichia coli some 30 to 60% of the initial E. coli RNA-ribose disappeared as cell-associated orcinol-positive material. The levels of RNA-ribose in the suspending buffer after growth together with the RNA-ribose used for bdellovibrio DNA synthesis accounted for 50% or less of the missing RNA-ribose. With intraperiplasmic growth in the presence of added U-14C-labeled CMP, GMP, or UMP, radioactivity was found both in the respired CO2 and incorporated into the bdellovibrio cell components. The addition of exogenous unlabeled ribonucleotides markedly reduced the amounts of both the 14CO2 and 14C incorporated into the progeny bdellovibrios. During intraperiplasmic growth of B. bacteriovorus on [U-14C]ribose-labeled E. coli BJ565, ca. 74% and ca. 19% of the initial 14C was incorporated into the progeny bdellovibrios and respired CO2, respectively. Under similar growth conditions, the addition of glutamate substantially reduced only the 14CO2; however, added ribonucleotides reduced both the 14CO2 and the 14C incorporated into the progeny bdellovibrios. No similar effects were found with added ribose-5-phosphate. The distribution of 14C in the major cell components was similar in progeny bdellovibrios whether obtained from growth on [U-14C]ribose-labeled E. coli BJ565 or from E. coli plus added U-14C-labeled ribonucleotides. After intraperiplasmic growth of B. bacteriovorus on [5,6-3H-]uracil-[U-14C]ribose-labeled E. coli BJ565 (normal or heat treated), the whole-cell 14C/3H ratio of the progeny bdellovibrios was some 50% greater and reflected the higher 14C/3H ratios found in the cell fractions. B. bacteriovorus and E. coli cell extracts both contained 5'-nucleotidase, uridine phosphorylase, purine phosphorylase, deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase, transketolase, thymidine phosphorylase, phosphodeoxyribomutase, and transaldolase enzyme activities. The latter three enzyme activities were either absent or very low in cell extracts prepared from heat-treated E. coli cells. It is concluded that during intraperiplasmic growth B. bacteriovorus degrades some 20 to 40% of the ribonucleotides derived from the initial E. coli RNA into the base and ribose-1-phosphate moieties. The ribose-1-phosphate is further metabolized by B. bacteriovorus both for energy production and for biosynthesis, of non-nucleic acid cell material. In addition, the data indicate that during intraperiplasmic growth B. bacteriovorus can metabolize ribose only if this compound is available to it as the ribonucleoside monophosphate.  相似文献

During the growth of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus on Pseudomonas putida or Escherichia coli in either 10(-3)m tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane or in dilute nutrient broth, the host deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was rapidly degraded, and by 30 to 60 min after the initiation of the bdellovibrio development cycle essentially all host DNA became nonbandable in CsCl gradients. At this stage the host DNA degradation products were nondiffusable, and there was no appreciable pool of low-molecular-weight (cold acid soluble) DNA fragments in the cells or in the suspending medium. Bdellovibrio DNA synthesis occurred only after degradation of host DNA to a nonbandable form was complete. The synthesis occurred in a continuous fashion with P. putida as the host and in two separate periods with E. coli as host. By using E. coli containing a (3)H-thymidine label, it was shown that 73%, on the average, of the thymine residues of host DNA were incorporated into bdellovibrio DNA when E. coli was the only source of nutrient. In the presence of dilute nutrient broth, the host cells still served as the major source of precursors for bdellovibrio DNA synthesis, with only 20% of the precursors arising from the exogenous nutrients. The data indicate an efficient and controlled utilization of host DNA by the bdellovibrio. The host DNA is apparently degraded early in the developmental cycle to oligonucleotides of intermediate molecular weight from which the biosynthetic monomers are generated only as they become needed for bdellovibrio DNA synthesis.  相似文献

The Y-ATP (energy efficiency) of intraperiplasmic growth of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus was determined from the distribution of radioactivity of the substrate organism ([U-14C]Escherichia coli) btween CO2 and bdellovibrio cells at the end of growth. A "best" Y-ATP value of 18.5 was obtained from single growth cycle experiments and an average value of 25.9 from multicycle experiments. Both values are much higher than the usual value of 10.5 for bacteria growing in rich media. The bases for the unusual energy efficiency for growth of B. bacteriovorus are discussed.  相似文献

Selected enzyme activities were measured in extracts of the total cell pellets obtained at various times during aerobic intraperiplasmic growth of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109J on anaerobically grown Escherichia coli substrate cells. Initially, the glycolytic enzyme activities were associated with the input of E. coli and the tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme activities with the input of bdellovibrios. During the first 90 min of Bdellovibrio development, the glycolytic activities declined about 25 to 60%, whereas the tricarboxylic acid cycle activities increased about 10%. Between 110 and 180 min, the glycolytic activities decreased to trace levels and tricarboxylic acid cycle activities increased about 50 to 90%. Both bdellovibrio cell extracts and the cell-free growth menstruum (obtained after bdellovibrio growth on E. coli) caused the inactivation of glycolytic enzymes in E. coli extracts.  相似文献

Data are presented showing that a large proportion of the fatty acids of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus grown intraperiplasmically are derived unaltered from the fatty acids of its substrate organism. Those fatty acids of the bdellovibrio not homologous with those of the substrate organism are derived mainly by metabolic alteration of preexisting fatty acids in the latter. De novo synthesis from acetate occurs only to a small extent. These characteristics of bdellovibrio physiology are in part responsible for its minimal energy expenditure for intraperiplasmic growth. The data presented also indicate that B. bacteriovorus is capable of hydrogenating unsaturated fatty acids, of beta-oxidation of fatty acids, and of regulating the proportion of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in the lipids.  相似文献

Outer membrane preparations of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus grown intraperiplasmically on Escherichia coli containing OmpF were prepared by the Triton X-100 procedure of Schnaitman (J. Bacteriol. 108:545-552, 1971). They contained a protein that migrated to almost the same position as E. coli OmpF in sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis and to the same position as E. coli OmpF when urea was incorporated into the gel. The mobility of this protein increased relative to that of OmpC in urea-containing gels as does E. coli OmpF. However, the same protein was also produced during axenic growth and during intraperiplasmic growth on prey lacking OmpF. The peptide profile generated by partial proteolysis of this protein showed no homology to that produced from E. coli OmpF. We conclude that B. bacteriovorus synthesizes an OmpF-like protein. Previous claims that the bdellovibrio incorporates an intact E. coli OmpF are not consistent with these observations.  相似文献

When cells of either Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109J or Bdellovibrio stolpii UKi2 were subjected to osmotic shock by treatment with sucrose-EDTA and MgCl2 solutions, only trace amounts of proteins or enzyme activities were released into the shock fluid. In contrast, when nongrowing cells were converted to motile, osmotically stable, peptidoglycan-free spheroplasts by penicillin treatment, numerous proteins were released into the suspending fluid. For both species, this suspending fluid contained substantial levels of 5'-nucleotidase, purine phosphorylase, and deoxyribose-phosphate aldolase. Penicillin treatment also released aminoendopeptidase N from B. bacteriovorus, but not from B. stolpii. Penicillin treatment did not cause release of cytoplasmic enzymes such as malate dehydrogenase. The data indicated that bdellovibrios possess periplasmic enzymes or peripheral enzymes associated with the cell wall complex. During intraperiplasmic bdellovibrio growth, periplasmic and cytoplasmic enzymes of the Escherichia coli substrate cell were not released upon formation of the spherical bdelloplast during bdellovibrio penetration. Most of the E. coli enzymes were retained within the bdelloplast until later in the growth cycle, when they became inactivated or released into the suspending buffer or both.  相似文献

During intraperiplasmic growth of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus on Escherichia coli, the substrate cell peptidoglycan is extensively modified as it is converted to bdelloplast peptidoglycan. The initially lysozyme-sensitive peptidoglycan of E. coli was rapidly converted to a lysozyme-resistant form. The conversion was due to the N-deacetylation of a large portion of the peptidoglycan amino sugars. Chemically acetylating the isolated peptidoglycan restored its sensitivity to lysozyme digestion. However, approximately half of the products of lysozyme digestion exhibited hydrophobic interactions that were shown not to be due to the presence of protein. This suggests that a molecule capable of hydrophobic interactions, other than protein, becomes linked to the bdelloplast peptidoglycan. The data also suggest that much of the Braun lipoprotein is removed from the E. coli peptidoglycan early during bdellovibrio development.  相似文献

During the initial stages of intraperiplasmic growth of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus on Escherichia coli, the peptidoglycan of the E. coli becomes acylated with long-chain fatty acids, primarily palmitic acid (60%) and oleic acid (20%). The attachment of the fatty acids to the peptidoglycan involves a carboxylic-ester bond, i.e., they were removed by treatment with alkaline hydroxylamine. Their linkage to the peptidoglycan does not involve a protein molecule. When the bdelloplast peptidoglycan was digested with lysozyme, the fatty acid-containing split products behaved as lipopeptidoglycan, i.e., they were extracted into the organic phase of 1-butanol:acetic acid:water (4:15) two-phase system; all of the lysozyme split products generated from normal E. coli peptidoglycan were extracted into the water phase. It is suggested that the function of the acylation reaction is to help stabilize the bdelloplast outer membrane against osmotic forces. In addition, a model is presented to explain how a bdellovibrio penetrates, stabilizes, and lyses a substrate cell.  相似文献

The effects of various exogenous nucleic acid compounds on the viability and cell composition of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus starved in buffer were measured. In decreasing order of effectiveness, these compounds were found to decrease the rate of loss of viability and the loss of cell carbon, cell ribonculeic acid, and cell protein: glutamate > ribonucleoside monophosphates > ribonucleosides > deoxyribonucleoside monophosphates. Similar sparing effects were not observed with nucleic acid bases, deoxyribonucleosides, ribose, ribose-5-phosphate, deoxyribose, and deoxyribose-5-phosphate. Appreciable increases in the respiration rate over the endogenous rate did not occur when cell suspensions were incubated with individual or mixtures of nucleic acid compounds. Formation of 14CO2 by cell suspensions incubated with carbon 14-labeled nucleic acid compounds indicated ribonucleosides and ribonucleoside monophosphates were respired and to a small extent, were incorporated into cell material of non-growing cells. The respired 14CO2 was derived mainly from the ribose portion of these molecules. No respired 14CO2 or incorporated carbon 14 was found with bdellovibrios incubated with other nucleic acid compounds tested, including free ribose. During growth of B. bacteriovorus on Escherichia coli in the presence of exogenous UL-14C-ribonucleoside monophosphates, 10–16% of the radioactivity was in the respired CO2 and of the radioactivity incorporated into the bdellovibrios, only 40 to 50% resided in the cell nucleic acids. However, during growth on 14C-adenine,-uracil, or-thymidine labeled E. coli, only trace amounts of 14CO2 were found and 90% or more of the incorporated radioactivity was in the bdellovibrio nucleic acids. It is concluded that bdellovibrio can use ribonucleoside monophosphates during growth and starvation as biosynthetic precursors for synthesis of both nucleic acids and other cell materials as well as catabolizing the ribose portion for energy purposes.Abbreviations HM buffer 5 mM N-2-hydroxyethyl-piperazine-N-2-ethanesulfonic acid (pH 7.6) containing 0.1 mM CaCl2 and MgCl2 - DNA deoxyribonucleic acid - RNA ribonucleic acid - Ar, Cr, Gr, Ur ribonucleosides of adenine, cytosine, guanine, uracil, respectively - dTr deoxythymidine - AMP, CMP, GMP, UMP ribonucleoside monophosphates of adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil, respectively - dTMP deoxythymidine monophosphate - ATP adenosine triphosphate - PFU plaque-forming units  相似文献

Heat treatment (55 degrees C for 40 min) of cell suspensions in buffer (ca. 3 x 10(9) cells per ml) of Escherichia coli ML35 caused a 4- to 4.5-log loss of cell viability. Similar results were found for several other E. coli strains that were examined. As a result of this heat treatment, 260-nm- and 280-nm-absorbing materials were released into the suspending buffer, along with about 10% of the total cellular radioactivity, when cells uniformly labeled with (14)C were used. In comparison with untreated cells, heat-treated E. coli ML35 cells showed (i) no significant changes in macromolecular composition other than ca. 22% less RNA content, (ii) an increased permeability to o-nitrophenyl-beta-d-galactopyranoside (a compound to which untreated cells are impermeable), (iii) almost complete loss of respiratory potential, and (iv) substantial losses of numerous glycolytic enzyme activities in cell extracts prepared from these cells. Intraperiplasmic development of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109J with heat-treated E. coli ML35 as substrate cells appeared normal when observed microscopically, although bdellovibrio attachment and resultant bdelloplast formation were slightly retarded. No significant changes were observed in cell yields or in the ratios and contents of DNA, RNA, or protein between bdellovibrios harvested from untreated cells and those from heat-treated substrate cells after single-developmental-cycle growth on these cells. The average Y(ATP) values for intraperiplasmic growth on untreated and heat-treated substrate cells were 16.0 and 17.9, respectively. It is concluded that intraperiplasmic bdellovibrio growth on gently heat-treated E. coli substrate cells is very similar to growth on untreated substrate cells, even though the former substrate cells are nonviable and substantially impaired in many metabolic activities.  相似文献

During intraperiplasmic growth of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109J, the substrate cell surface becomes more hydrophobic. This was shown (i) by comparing the sensitivity to hydrophobic antibiotics of wild-type and lipopolysaccharide mutant strains of Salmonella typhimurium to that of the bdellovibrio growing on these strains and (ii) by measuring the binding efficiency of these strains, Escherichia coli, and their derived bdelloplasts to octyl Sepharose. The kinetics of increase in surface hydrophobicity was similar to the kinetics of the conversion of the substrate cell peptidoglycan to a lysozyme-resistant form (M. Thomashow and S. Rittenberg, J. Bacteriol. 135:1008-1014, 1978), and hydrophobicity reached a maximum at about 60 min in a synchronous culture. The change in hydrophobicity was inhibited by chloramphenicol, suggesting that bdellovibrio protein synthesis was required. Control experiments revealed that the free-swimming bdellovibrio had a more hydrophobic surface than the deep rough mutants of S. typhimurium.  相似文献

During penetration of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus into Escherchia coli, two enzymatic activities, a glycanase and a peptidase, rapidly solubilized some 10 to 15% of the E. coli peptidoglycan. The glycanase activity, which solubilizes peptidoglycan amino sugars, came to a sharp halt with completion of the penetration process. Peptidase activity, which cleaves diaminopimelic acid residues from the peptidoglycan, continued, but at a decreasing rate. By 90 min after bdellovibrio attack, some 30% of the initial E. coli diaminopimelic acid residues were solubilized and present in the culture fluid as free diaminopimelic acid. During bdellovibrio penetration some 25% of the lipopolysaccharide glucosamine was also solubilized by an as yet undefined enzymatic activity that yielded products having molecular weights below 2,000. The solubilization of E. coli lipopolysaccharide glucosamine also terminated at completion of bdellovibrio penetration. At the end of bdellovibrio growth, a second period of rapid solubilization of bdelloplast peptidoglycan began which resulted in lysis of the bdelloplast and complete solubilization of the peptidoglycan amino sugars and diaminopimelic acid. The final lytic enzyme(s) was synthesized just before the time of lysis.  相似文献

Deoxyribonucleic Acid Characterization of Bdellovibrios   总被引:5,自引:4,他引:1       下载免费PDF全文
The guanine plus cytosine (GC) content of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of 11 isolates of host-dependent (H-D) bdellovibrios and 18 host-independent (H-I) derivatives was determined from thermal denaturation curves and buoyant densities in CsCl. The H-D and respective H-I cultures have GC contents which are identical within the limits of experimental error. Most cultures of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, including the holotype culture, have 50.4 +/- 0.9 moles% GC in their DNA; two bdellovibrio isolates of presently uncertain nomenclatural status contain DNA of about 43% GC. Optical melting profiles of all the DNA from all of these organisms are particularly steep, indicating little compositional heterogeneity. Chromatography of acid hydrolysates of Bdellovibrio nucleic acids reveal no unusual components. The DNA content per cell of one H-I derivative is about one-third the amount per Escherichia coli cell growing at a comparable rate.  相似文献

Facultatively Parasitic Strain of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus   总被引:22,自引:18,他引:4       下载免费PDF全文
A strain of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus (designated strain UKi2) was isolated which was capable of growing either saprophytically in host-free medium or endoparasitically in Escherichia coli B/r. It was quantitatively determined that each bdellovibrio could develop in solid medium to produce a colony, and 65% of the cells in a late exponential-phase culture were capable of inducing E. coli B/r spheroplasts. A photomicrographic sequence of single E. coli spheroplasts containing bdellovibrios demonstrated that parasitically derived B. bacteriovorus UKi2 could develop saprophytically after release from the host cells. Strain UKi2 appears to be morphologically quite similar to previously described obligately parasitic bdellovibrios; biochemical data on this strain suggests its close relationship to some of the previously described host-independent strains of Bdellovibrio.  相似文献

The lipid A components of substrate cell origin incorporated by Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus during intraperiplasmic growth (D. R. Nelson and S. C. Rittenberg, J. Bacteriol. 147:860-868, 1981) were shown to be integrated into its lipopolysaccharide structure. Lipid A isolated from bdellovibrios grown on Escherichia coli was resolved into two fractions by thin-layer chromatography. Fraction 2 had the same Rf as the single lipid A fraction of axenicaly grown bdellovibrios, and both stained identically with aniline-diphenylamine reagent. Fraction 1 resembled, in Rf and staining reaction, the slower migrating of two lipid A fractions obtained from the E.coli used as the substrate cell. Both fractions 1 and 2 contained glucosamine, a substrate cell-derived compound. Greater than 65% of the fatty acids in fraction 1 were derived from the substrate cell, whereas more than 60% of the fatty acids of fraction 2 were synthesized by the bdellovibrio. Nevertheless, each fraction contained significant amounts of fatty acid of both origins. The substrate cell-derived fatty acids had the same distribution of N-acyl and O-acyl linkages as in E. coli lipid A. The data indicate that the two lipid A moieties in lipopolysaccharide of intraperiplasmically grown bdellovibrios are hybrids of substrate cell-derived and bdellovibrio-synthesized components. The data also suggest that disaccharide units and N- and O-acyl linkages preexisting in the substrate cell lipid A may be conserved. A possible explanation for the unequal distribution of substrate cell-derived material in the two lipid A fractions of the bdellovibrio is suggested.  相似文献
