Distribution and Genetic Characteristics of SXT/R391 Integrative Conjugative Elements in Shewanella spp. From China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The genus Shewanella consists of facultatively anaerobic Gram-negative bacteria, which are regarded as potential agents of food contamination and opportunistic human pathogens.

Shewanella khirikhana sp. nov. – a shrimp pathogen isolated from a cultivation pond exhibiting early mortality syndrome

Microbial Biotechnology, 2020
Summary Early mortality syndrome (EMS) in cultivated shrimp is of complex aetiology. One of the causes is acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) caused by unique Vibrio isolates that carry two Pirvp toxin genes, but other causes of EMS remain ...

Isolation and Characterization of Shewanella Phage Thanatos Infecting and Lysing Shewanella oneidensis and Promoting Nascent Biofilm Formation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Species of the genus Shewanella are widespread in nature in various habitats, however, little is known about phages affecting Shewanella sp. Here, we report the isolation of phages from diverse freshwater environments that infect and lyse strains of ...

Bromate reduction by Shewanella species depends on both endogenous and exogenous iron

Frontiers in Microbiology
In this study, we isolated Shewanella sp. strain M-Br, a bromate (BrO 3 − )-reducing bacterium, from seawater. In the presence of lactate as the electron donor, this strain reduced 250 μM bromate to bromide (Br −

Differential gene content and gene expression for bacterial evolution and speciation of Shewanella in terms of biosynthesis of heme and heme-requiring proteins

BMC Microbiology, 2019
Background Most species of Shewanella harbor two ferrochelatase paralogues for the biosynthesis of c-type cytochromes, which are crucial for their respiratory versatility.

Sea Lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) Harbour Putative Fish Pathogens: Insights From Illumina and Nanopore Sequencing

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ectoparasites that penetrate host skin can act as biological or mechanical vectors for pathogens and, in some cases, serve as reservoirs. Crustacean ectoparasites of fish are potential vectors of pathogens, which is especially relevant for obligate pathogens (e.g., Aeromonas salmonicida) with limited seawater survival. Sea lice (Lepeophtheirus

Isoprenoid quinone composition of some marine Alteromonas, Marinomonas, Deleya, Pseudomonas and Shewanella species [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1992
The isoprenoid quinone composition of 51 Gram-negative, aerobic, marine bacteria representing the genera Alteromonas, Marinomonas, Deleya, Pseudomonas and Shewanella was examined using high-performance liquid chromatography. Alteromonas and Marinomonas strains contained ubiquinone with eight isoprene units as their most abundant component, whilst ...

To Move or Not to Move: When and How Bacteria Suppress Flagellar Motility

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Motility cessation in bacteria is a key regulatory strategy that provides multiple survival advantages including enhanced community cooperation, niche adaptation and evasion of host immune responses. This process is controlled by associated mechanisms such as post‐translational modifications and second messenger signalling that stabilise non‐motile ...
