Genome taxonomy of the genus Thalassotalea and proposal of Thalassotalea hakodatensis sp. nov. isolated from sea cucumber larvae

Authors: Ryota Yamano, et al. Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene nucleotide sequences Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene nucleotide sequences showed that strain PTE2T could be affiliated to the members of the genus Thalassotalea (Fig 1). However, the internal node of the genus Thalassotalea was unlikely to be supported by a…

Roles of qseC mutation in bacterial resistance against anti-lipopolysaccharide factor isoform 3 (ALFPm3)

Authors: Iyacoob Khunsri, et al. Abstract Propelled by global climate changes, the shrimp industry has been facing tremendous losses in production due to various disease outbreaks, particularly early mortality syndrome (EMS), a disease caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus AHPND. Not only is the use of antibiotics as EMS control agents not yet been proven successful, but…

Modelling the spread and mitigation of an emerging vector-borne pathogen: Citrus greening in the U.S.

Authors: Viet-Anh Nguyen, et al. Abstract Predictive models, based upon epidemiological principles and fitted to surveillance data, play an increasingly important role in shaping regulatory and operational policies for emerging outbreaks. Data for parameterising these strategically important models are often scarce when rapid actions are required to change the course of an epidemic invading a…

Can the soil seed bank of Rumex obtusifolius in productive grasslands be explained by management and soil properties?

Authors: Matthias Suter , et al. Abstract Rumex obtusifolius is a problematic weed in temperate grasslands worldwide as it decreases yield and nutritional value of forage. Because the species can recruit from the seed bank, we determined the effect of management and soil properties on the soil seed bank of R. obtusifolius in intensively managed,…
