ABSTRACT
Objective To observe and identify the microorganism isolated from diseased and dead Ctenogobius gymnauchen cultured in seawater near the Daya Bay of south China sea.Methods GDLAMI-1210 strain was isolated from the diseased Ctenogobius gymnauchen(Bleeker).We applied physiological and biochemical characteristics in the bacterial classification.In order to confirm the results,we amplified a 1438 bp sequence of GDLAMI-1210's 16 S rRNA(HM 362434)and compared with other sequence in GenBank,and followed by artificial infection.Results The GDLAMI-1210 strain was Gram-negative and in a shape of short rod with single polar flagellum.The homology analysis and phylogenetic study showed that the 16 S rRNA sequence of GDLAMI-1210 has the highest similarity to Vibrio sp.espec Vibrio vulnificus,showing 99% identity.Conclusions To our knowledge,this is the first report that the causative pathogen,Vibrio sp,leads to the mortality of Ctenogobius gymnauchen(Bleeker).
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the mode of cell death caused by NDV strain Changchun and NDV strain Siping. Methods: Plaque formation, cell suppression test, gel electrophoresis, and TUNEL assay were used after the cells were infected by NDV. Results: The apparently pathological changes were observed in chicken embryo fibroblasts, BHK, Hela, Hep 2, HCT and OS 732 tumor cells, but not in Wish cells. The higher suppressed effect on tumor cells was found in the NDV strain Changchun than that in the NDV strain Siping. There was no dose effect relationship between NDV and tumor cell suppression, only optimum dose NDV could cause maximal tumor cells inhibitory effect. Conclusion: The mode of cell death might be different after infection of NDV. The NDV strain Changchun killed tumor cells mainly through apoptosis, while the NDV strain Siping killed tumor cells mainly through necrosis. \[
