Protein profile of Vibrio species isolated from diseased Penaeus monodon [Fab.]

ABSTRACT

Asia is the hub of aquaculture. In the Indian continents 75% culture development is on the East Coast along the Bay of Bengal. An attempt has been made to analyse the protein profile of Vibrio sp. isolated from Penaeus monodon. For the present study five isolates of Vibrio namely, V. alginolyticus, V. anguillarium, V. fluvialis, V. furnissi and V. mimicus were selected for protein estimation and SDS-PAGE analysis. The study revealed the total protein range from 10.4 +/- 0.17 to 12.3 +/- 0.26%, respectively. In the SDS-PAGE analysis the tested Vibrio sp. showed a single band of 38 kDa. The study revealed that the isolated Vibrio sp. showed 38 kDa protein band unique to pathogenic condition
