Bacterial production of histamine in some tropical fish 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Quantitative and qualitative distribution of histamine-forming bacteria associated with the fish Rastrelliger kanagurta, Sardinella longiceps, Sillago sihama and Liza subviridis, were investigated. These bacteria constituted a significant portion of the total bacterial population of fish and the values obtained in the present study were higher than those previously reported. The order of quantitative abundance of histamine-forming bacteria in the fish examined was: S. longiceps greater than R. kanagurta greater than S. sihama greater than L. subviridis. The bacterial genera isolated were Vibrio sp., Bacillus sp., Pseudomonas sp., Aeromonas sp. and Micrococcus sp., and among them Vibrio was dominant. Growth of the isolates (Vibrio sp., V. fischeri and Bacillus sp.) at different temperatures, pH and sodium chloride concentrations indicated them to be mesophilic, euryhaline and tolerant to acidic and alkaline pH. Bacillus sp. produced more histamine in R. kanagurta, while V. fisheri produced more histamine in S. longiceps. 相似文献

The time course of the conversions of chemical components in herring extracts during anaerobic growth of Proteus sp., str. NTHC 153, Aeromonas sp., str. NTHC 154, and Enterobacter sp., str. NTHC 151 (Strøm & Larsen 1979) has been studied. When the Proteus sp. or the Aeromonas sp. were inoculated into the herring extracts and incubated at 15°C under anaerobic conditions, the sugar components (i.e. mainly ribose, free and bound) were the first substrates utilized. These compounds were converted to acetate and CO2 by the use of trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) as an external hydrogen acceptor. Growth of bacteria ceased when all TMAO was reduced to trimethylamine (TMA). By adding an extra amount of TMAO to the herring extracts an increased growth of the Proteus sp. and the Aeromonas sp. ensued. The increased growth occurred concomitantly with a further conversion of TMAO to TMA and of lactate to acetate and CO2 . The Enterobacter sp., which did not utilize lactate, did not give an increased growth in herring extracts enriched with TMAO. 相似文献

A marine bacterium, Micrococcus MCCB 104, isolated from hatchery water, demonstrated extracellular antagonistic properties against Vibrio alginolyticus, V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus, V. fluviallis, V. nereis, V. proteolyticus, V. mediterranei, V cholerae and Aeromonas sp., bacteria associated with Macrobrachium rosenbergii larval rearing systems. The isolate inhibited the growth of V. alginolyticus during co-culture. The antagonistic component of the extracellular product was heat-stable and insensitive to proteases, lipase, catalase and alpha-amylase. Micrococcus MCCB 104 was demonstrated to be non-pathogenic to M. rosenbergii larvae. 相似文献

In this study we assessed the occurrence, diversity and conjugative potential of plasmids in integron-carrying Aeromonas and Enterobacteriaceae from wastewaters. Sixty-six strains were included as donors in mating assays using rifampicin-resistant Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida recipient strains. The diversity of plasmids from donors and transconjugants (resistant to tetracycline or streptomycin) was evaluated by restriction analysis and replicon typing targeting 19 incompatibility groups. Restriction patterns revealed a diverse plasmid pool present in these strains. Plasmids were assigned to FrepB (Aeromonas salmonicida, Aeromonas veronii, Aeromonas sp., E.?coli, Enterobacter sp.), FIC (A.?salmonicida, Aeromonas sp.), FIA (Shigella sp.), I1 (A.?veronii, Aeromonas sp., E.?coli), HI1 (E.?coli) and U (Aeromonas media) replicons. Nevertheless, 50% of the plasmids could not be assigned to any replicon type. Among integron-positive transconjugants, FrepB, I1 and HI1 replicons were detected. Results showed that wastewaters enclose a rich plasmid pool associated with integron-carrying bacteria, capable of conjugating to different bacterial hosts. Moreover, replicons detected in this study in Aeromonas strains expand our current knowledge of plasmid diversity in this genus. 相似文献

Mixtures of anionic HgCl3-/HgCl4(2)-complexes were less toxic to terrestrial bacteria (Erwinia herbicola, Agrobacterium tumefaciens), to marine bacteria (Acinetobacter sp., Aeromonas sp.), and to bacteriophages (phi 11 M 15 of Staphylococcus aureus and P1 of Escherichia coli) than were equivalent concentrations of Hg as cationic Hg2+. The toxicity of 1 ppm Hg to A. tumefaciens. Aeromonas sp., and phi 11 M 15 was less in seawater than in lake water. Inasmuch as the Hg-Cl species are formed in environments of high chloride concentration, it was postulated that the lower toxicity of Hg in seawater was a result of the formation of HgCl3-/HgCl4(2)-complexes. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to determine a participation of Aeromonas sp., having conjugation R plasmids, in a population of the bacteria present in purified urban sewage . In 1 ml of sewage 1.8 x 10(3) - 50 x 10(3) of Aeromonas sp., were found. The isolated strains belonged to the following genera: A. hydrophila, A. caviae, A. sorbia. All tested strains were sensitive to gentamicin, tetracycline, kanamycin and nalidixic acid. Among 186 strains of Aeromonas sp., two belonging to A. caviae genus transferred resistance to streptomycin to A. hydrophila and E. coli recipients on the other hand two strains of A. caviae transferred resistance to streptomycin exclusively to A. hydrophila recipient. 相似文献

Enzymatic profiles were determined by the API ZYM system for 15 strains of non 01 Vibrio cholerae, 4 strains of V. metschnikovii, 9 strains of V. anguillarum, 6 strains of Plesiomonas shigelloides and 115 strains motile Aeromonas sp. All of the tested strains produced alkaline phosphatase, leucine aminopeptidase and did not possess alpha-fucosidase and alpha-mannosidase. Some differences in enzymatic activities among the tested Vibrionaceae strains were noted. The strains of non 01 V. cholerae, V. metschnikovii, V. anguillarum and P. shigelloides did not produce trypsin, whereas all of the tested Vibrio sp. strains appeared to be positive for this enzyme. Only the strains of P. shigelloides produced BI-Phospho-hydrolase. The lack of acid phosphatase activity was observed among the strains of V. anguillarum. 相似文献

Because of the ubiquity of Aeromonas spp., their prevalence in drinking water, and the increasing number of reports on Aeromonas sp.-related infections, a standard method for routine and quantitative recovery had to be defined. On the basis of a survey of 10 media for recovery analysis and subsequent differentiation assays in mixed cultures, we conclude that ampicillin-dextrin agar performed the best for the recovery of Aeromonas spp. in drinking water and the differentiation by simple criteria of that genus from other common waterborne bacteria. 相似文献

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) accumulating bacteria were isolated under various selective conditions such as pH, salt concentrations and types of heavy metal. Fifty strains of bacterial isolates were found to belong to Bacillus, Proteus, Pseudomonas, Aeromonas, Alcaligenes and Chromobacterium, based on phenotypical features and genotypic investigation. Only twenty five bacterial isolates were selected and observed for the production of PHAs. Interestingly, bacteria belonging to Firmucutes Bacillus sp. produced a high amount of PHAs. The maximum PHAs were accumulated by B. licheniformis PHA 007 at 68.80% of dry cell weight (DCW). Pseudomonas sp., Aeromonas sp., Alcaligenes sp. and Chromobacterium sp. were recorded to produce a moderate amount of PHAs, varying from 10.00-44.32% of DCW. The enzymatic activity was preliminarily analyzed by the ratio of the clear zone diameter to colony diameter. Bacillus gave the highest ratio of hydrolysis zone which corresponds to the highest hydrolytic enzyme activities. Bacillus licheniformis PHA 007 had the highest lipase and protease activity at 2.1 and 5.1, respectively. However, the highest amylase activity was observed in Bacillus sp. PHA 023 at 1.4. Determination of metabolic characteristics was also investigated to check for their ability to consume a wide range of substrates. Bacillus, Aeromonas sp. and Alcaligenes sp. had great ability to utilize a variety of substrates. To decrease high PHA cost, different sources of cheap substrates were tested for the production of PHAs. Bacillus cereus PHA 008 gave the maximal yield of PHA production (64.09% of DCW) when cultivated in anaerobically treated POME. In addition, the accumulation of PHA copolymers such as 3-hydroxyvalerate and 3-hydroxyhexanoate was also observed in Bacillus and Pseudomomas sp. strain 012 and 045, respectively. Eight of the nine isolates accumulated a significant amount of PHAs when inexpensive carbon sources were used as substrates. Here it varied from 1.69% of DCW by B. licheniformis PHA 007 to 64.09% of DCW by B. cereus PHA 008. 相似文献

Enumeration and characterization of Aeromonas hydrophila and Aeromonas caviae isolated from grocery store produce 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Starch-ampicillin agar was used to quantitatively isolate Aeromonas sp. from retail grocery store produce. All produce sampled, including parsley, spinach, celery, alfalfa sprouts, broccoli, and lettuce, contained Aeromonas sp. In most instances, the count of Aeromonas sp. increased 10- to 1,000-fold during 2 weeks of storage at 5 degrees C. Eleven (92%) of 12 kinds of produce yielded cytotoxic Aeromonas sp. Identification as Aeromonas hydrophila was the strongest indicator of cytotoxicity, and all 29 (100%) A. hydrophila isolates and 1 (6%) of 16 A. caviae isolates were cytotoxic. Twenty-seven (90%) of 30 cytotoxic Aeromonas sp. strains produced hemolysins. Strong correlations were also noted between ability to produce cytotoxin and positive Voges-Proskauer, lysine decarboxylase, and sorbitol fermentation reactions. It appears that grocery store produce is a potentially significant source of cytotoxic Aeromonas sp. and should be considered in the epidemiology of A. hydrophila gastroenteritis. 相似文献

PCR primers specific for the chiA gene were designed by alignment and selection of highly conserved regions of chiA sequences from Serratia marcescens, Alteromonas sp., Bacillus circulans and Aeromonas caviae. These primers were used to amplify a 225 bp fragment of the chiA gene from Vibrio harveyi to produce a chiA gene probe. The chiA PCR primers and probe were used to detect the presence of the chiA gene in an assemblage of 53 reference strains and gave consistent results. Selected chiA fragments amplified by PCR were cloned and sequenced from nine known strains and from Chesapeake Bay isolates 6d and 11d. This confirmed the specificity and utility of the primers for detection of chiA-positive environmental strains. Over 1000 bacterial isolates from Chesapeake Bay water samples were tested for the presence of the chiA gene which was found to be present in 5-41% (average 21%) of the culturable bacterial community. The approach developed in this study was valuable for isolation and enumeration of chiA-positive bacteria in environmental samples. 相似文献

A lectin with molecular mass around 200 kDa was isolated from the serum of the Indian catfish Clarias batrachus. The bioactivity of this serum lectin was Ca2+ and pH dependent. The lectin appeared to be specific for alpha-methyl galactose and sialoglycoproteins like porcine and bovine submaxillary mucin and could agglutinate human, rabbit, mice, rat and chicken erythrocytes. This fish lectin was able to specifically agglutinate different gram negative bacteria. When it was checked against different strains of the fish pathogen Aeromonas sp., it significantly altered the viability and pathogenicity of the bacteria. Binding of the lectin to Aeromonas sp., resulted in a dose dependent increase in the bactericidal activity of fish macrophages. However, when the lectin was checked against different gram positive bacteria it could not agglutinate or affect the viability of those strains and also failed to bring about any significant change in the bactericidal potential of fish macrophages. The lectin was able to induce the proliferation of head kidney lymphocytes of Clarias and helped in the release of 'IL-1' like cytokines from head kidney macrophages. 相似文献

I. KERSTERS, N. SMEYERS AND W. VERSTRAETE. 1996. Ampicillin-dextrin agar (ADA), m-Aeromonas agar (mA), starch glutamate ampicillin penicillin C-glucose agar (SGAP-10C), trehalose agar (TRE) and ampicillin bile salts inositol xylose agar (MIX) were evaluated for the isolation of Aeromonas sp. from aquatic environments. Recovery of pure cultures was excellent on all media, except for Aer. sobria on SGAP-10C and MIX agars. Recovery of Aeromonas sp. from freshwaters was comparable on ADA, mA, SGAP-10C and TRE. The most selective media were SGAP-10C and ADA, which yielded an average reduction factor of more than 2.9 log. The ability to differentiate Aeromonas sp. from the background microbiota present in freshwaters was best on ADA. The present findings indicate that ADA is the most adequate medium for the selective isolation of Aeromonas sp. from freshwaters. 相似文献

Aeromonas hydrophila (HG1)-specific RAPD-PCR fragments were investigated for their potential as DNA probes. From 20 RAPD-PCR fragment bands, it was found that two were specific to all isolates of Aeromonas hydrophila (HG1) tested. Cloning and nucleotide sequence determination of one of these bands showed that co-migration of similar sized amplicons had occurred and that this band (designated '7e') contained at least four fragments of different sequences. Three of these individual amplicons had a sequence specific to Aer. hydrophila (HG1) isolates. The sequence of one of these amplicons ('7e5') was used to design primers for a specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The specificity of the PCR was achieved using a modified hot-start procedure. The identity of the PCR amplicons was confirmed by high stringency hybridization with a digoxygenin-labelled 7e5 probe. 相似文献

The recent development of intensive rearing of European perch Perca fluviatilis in warm water effluents revealed important pathological problems. This study gives a preliminary overview of parasites and diseases encountered in experimental perch farming. No virus has been recorded since the beginning of the experiments in 1993. By contrast, mass mortality caused by bacterial disease alone or associated with other pathogens were frequently observed. The main identified bacterial species were: Aeromonas sp., A. veronii, A. hydrophila, Streptococcus sp., Staphylococcus sp., Vibrio fluviatilis and Enterobacter agglomerans. Protozoans were the most common parasites observed on cultured P. fluviatilis. High mortality rate due to Ichthyobodo necator and Trichodina sp. may take place at different stages of perch rearing. In contrast, the infestation by Ambiphrya sp. and Heteropolaria sp. was size- or age-related; these two ciliates infested perch weighing < 1 g and > 20 g, respectively. In spite of the presence of other parasites such as Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, Hexamita spp., Gyrodactylus sp. and Argulus sp. in the rearing system P. fluviatilis does not appear to be affected. Further abnormalities or diseases inherent to intensive culture systems are also described. 相似文献

Water extracts of herring fillets were used as laboratory model substrates for the study of anaerobic bacterial spoilage of fish stored in bulk. The organisms studied ( Enterobacter sp., str. NTHC 151, Proteus sp., str. NTHC 153, and Aeromonas sp., str. NTHC 154) were selected for by an enrichment method designed to isolate the bacteria having the highest anaerobic growth yields in these herring extracts. The extracts were then inoculated with pure cultures of the bacteria and incubated anaerobically at 15°C. Chemical analyses of the extracts were carried out at the start and at the end of the incubation period. The compounds determined accounted for 88% of total carbon and 93% of total nitrogen of the sterile extracts. Ribose (free and bound), free hexoses and lactate were the main substrates for the growth of the bacteria. These compounds were converted to acetate and CO2 ; hydrogen liberated by these processes was used for the quantitative reduction of trimethylamine oxide to trimethylamine. Fermentation balances support the contention that the biochemical changes observed represent the quantitative dominating chemical events in the herring extracts as a result of the development of the spoilage bacteria. 相似文献

AIM: To develop a probiotic with effectiveness against Aeromonas sp., which was pathogenic to rainbow trout. METHODS AND RESULTS: When Bacillus subtilis AB1, which was obtained from fish intestine, was administered for 14 days to rainbow trout in feed at a concentration of 10(7) cells per gram either as viable, formalized or sonicated cells or as cell-free supernatant, the fish survived challenge with the pathogen. AB1 stimulated immune parameters, specifically stimulating respiratory burst, serum and gut lysozyme, peroxidase, phagocytic killing, total and alpha1-antiprotease and lymphocyte populations. CONCLUSIONS: Bacillus subtilis AB1 was effective as a probiotic at controlling infections by a fish-pathogenic Aeromonas sp. in rainbow trout. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Disease control in fish is possible by means of the oral application of live and inactivated cells and their subcellular components with the mode of action reflecting stimulation of the innate immune response. 相似文献
