Lineage: Pseudoalteromonas atlantica; Pseudoalteromonas; Pseudoalteromonadaceae; Alteromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Isolated from a biofilm from San Diego Bay in California. Marine biofilm bacterium associated with shell disease in shellfish. A common marine bacterium that exists both in the water column, and in biofilms attached to surfaces. This organism produces a well characterized, commercially important agarase. Pseudoalteromonas atlantica has been isolated from lesions on crabs with shell disease. Shell disease is characterized by progressive degradation of the shell, often leading to an infection of the hemolymph (blood) and may be caused by Pseudoalteromonas, Alteromonas, Vibrio, or other marine organisms. In addition to producing extracellular enzymes which attack the shell, Pseudoalteromonas atlantica produces a the lipopolysaccharide which has been shown to be a potential virulence factor in shell disease.

Subject: NC_015633:2327500 Vibrio anguillarum 775 chromosome chromosome I, complete sequence

Lineage: Vibrio anguillarum; Vibrio; Vibrionaceae; Vibrionales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Listonella anguillarum, formerly Vibrio anguillarum is an opportunistic pathogen in economically important marine fish such as eel, flounder and salmon. This disease causes lesions on the skin and around the mouth and gills of the fish often progressing to a systemic infection causing death. If left untreated this disease can cause significant losses in commercial hatcheries.
