Flavobacterium columnare is the causative agent of columnaris disease in freshwater fish and four discrete genetic groups exist within the species, suggesting that the species designation requires revision. The present study determined the taxonomic status of the four genetic groups of F.

Ungeremine and Its Hemisynthesized Analogues as Bactericides against Flavobacterium columnare
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2013The Gram-negative bacterium Flavobacterium columnare is the cause of columnaris disease, which can occur in channel catfish ( Ictalurus punctatus ). In a previous study, the betaine-type alkaloid ungeremine, 1, obtained from Pancratium maritimum L. was found to have strong antibacterial activity against F. columnare.

Laboratory Maintenance of Flavobacterium psychrophilum and Flavobacterium columnare
Current Protocols in Microbiology, 2007AbstractBacteria in the genus Flavobacterium are highly heterogeneous and are comprised of pathogenic and non‐pathogenic species. They are found in a wide variety of environments that include fresh and marine water, soil, and ocean sediments. This unit focuses on laboratory maintenance of two important fish pathogens within this genus.

Identification of an iron acquisition machinery in Flavobacterium columnare
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2013Flavobacterium columnare, a fastidious Gram-negative pathogen and the causative agent of columnaris disease, is one of the most harmful pathogens in the freshwater fish-farming industry. Nevertheless the virulence mechanisms of F. columnare are not well understood.

Growth of Flavobacterium columnare Genomovars in the Presence or Lack of Supplemental Cations
Current Microbiology, 2021Flavobacterium columnare is a problematic pathogen for the aquaculture industry where isolates are classified by genomovars. Suspended growth in a low nutrient media, like tryptone yeast extract salts, is a common method used for laboratory study.

Multiplex PCR for genotypingFlavobacterium columnare
Journal of Fish Diseases, 2019AbstractRecent research has identified four distinct genetic groups among isolates ofFlavobacterium columnarethrough multilocus phylogenetic analyses; however, there are no quick methods to determine the genotype of an isolate. The objective of this research was to develop a multiplex PCR to rapidly genotypeF. columnareto genetic group.

Use of suppressive subtractive hybridization to identify Flavobacterium columnare DNA sequences not shared with Flavobacterium johnsoniae [PDF]
To identify specific sequences in the fish pathogen Flavobacterium columnare not shared by Flavobacterium johnsoniae.Suppressive subtractive hybridization (SSH) was used to selectively amplify and clone F. columnare-specific sequences. A highly virulent strain of F. columnare was used as tester and the type strain of F.

Flavobacterium columnare colony types: Connection to adhesion and virulence?
Microbial Pathogenesis, 2009Four different colony morphologies were produced by Flavobacterium columnare strains on Shieh agar plate cultures: rhizoid and flat (type 1), non-rhizoid and hard (type 2), round and soft (type 3), and irregularly shaped and soft (type 4). Colonies produced on AO agar differed from these to some extent.

Efficacy of a modified live Flavobacterium columnare vaccine in fish
Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2011Flavobacterium columnare is an aquatic bacterium that is responsible for columnaris disease. This aquatic pathogen has a worldwide distribution and is highly infectious to both warm and cold water fish. A modified live F. columnare vaccine was developed by repeated passage of a virulent strain on increasing concentrations of rifampicin that resulted in

The structure of the glycopeptides from the fish pathogen Flavobacterium columnare
Carbohydrate Research, 2003Proteolytic digestion of the phenol-water extraction product of the fish pathogen Flavobacterium columnare afforded a mixture of glycopeptides in which the oligosaccharide moiety was an unusual hexasaccharide composed of 4-O-methyl-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucuronic acid (GlcNAcA), D-glucuronic acid (D-GlcA), 2,3-di-O-acetyl-D-xylose (D-Xyl), 2-O-methyl ...
