Comparative analysis of quantitative methodologies for Vibrionaceae biofilms [PDF]

open access: yesFolia Microbiologica, 2016
Multiple symbiotic and free-living Vibrio spp. grow as a form of microbial community known as a biofilm. In the laboratory, methods to quantify Vibrio biofilm mass include crystal violet staining, direct colony-forming unit (CFU) counting, dry biofilm cell mass measurement, and observation of development of wrinkled colonies.

Co-Catalytic Metallopeptidases as Pharmaceutical Targets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Understanding the reaction mechanism of co-catalytic metallopeptidases provides a starting point for the design and synthesis of new molecules that can be screened as potential pharmaceuticals. Many of the enzymes that contain co-catalytic metallo-active

The Impact of Highly Weathered Oil from the Most Extensive Oil Spill in Tropical Oceans (Brazil) on the Microbiome of the Coral Mussismilia harttii

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
In 2019, the largest oil spill ever recorded in tropical oceans in terms of extent occurred in Brazil. The oil from the spill was collected directly from the environment and used in an exposure experiment with the endangered reef-building coral ...

Unifying microorganisms and macrograzers in intertidal rocky shore ecological networks

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Over the past decades, our understanding of the vital role microbes play in ecosystem processes has greatly expanded. However, we still have limited knowledge about how microbial communities interact with larger organisms. Many existing representations of microbial interactions are based on co‐occurrence patterns, which do not provide clear ...

Emerging Research Topics in the Vibrionaceae and the Squid–Vibrio Symbiosis

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
The Vibrionaceae encompasses a cosmopolitan group that is mostly aquatic and possesses tremendous metabolic and genetic diversity. Given the importance of this taxon, it deserves continued and deeper research in a multitude of areas. This review outlines

Mathematical model of the Lux luminescence system in the terrestrial bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A mathematical model of the Lux luminescence system, governed by the operon luxCDABE in the terrestrial bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens, was constructed using a set of coupled ordinary differential equations.

The Coral Host Microbiome Modulates the Virulence of the Bacterial Pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2026.
The coral microbiome has been shown to protect the host (bottom right panel), but dysbiosis can increase susceptibility to infection by the bacterial pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus. Treatment of Montipora capitata coral with antibiotics induced dysbiosis, which increased infection rates of less pathogenic V. coralliilyticus strains.

Polar Flagellar Motility of the Vibrionaceae [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2001
SUMMARY Polar flagella of Vibrio species can rotate at speeds as high as 100,000 rpm and effectively propel the bacteria in liquid as fast as 60 μm/s. The sodium motive force powers rotation of the filament, which acts as a propeller.

Conservation of the Chitin Utilization Pathway in the Vibrionaceae [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2008
ABSTRACT Vibrionaceae are regarded as important marine chitin degraders, and attachment to chitin regulates important biological functions; yet, the degree of chitin pathway conservation in Vibrionaceae is unknown. Here, a core chitin degradation pathway is proposed based on comparison of 19
