Vibrio fischeri is a Gram-negative heterotrophic bacterium, belonging
to the Vibrionaceae, a large family within the Gamma-proteobacteria, consisting
of many species that are characterized by both cooperative and pathogenic
interactions with animal tissue (Ref.1). V. fischeri has a worldwide
distribution, principally in temperate and subtropical waters, where it occupies
a variety of niches. In addition to being a light-organ symbiont of several
species of squids and fishes, this bacterium occurs as a member of the enteric
consortia of many marine animals, as a pathogen of certain invertebrates and as
a free-living saprophyte growing on dissolved and particulate organic matter.
In locations where it forms light-organ symbiosis with animals, free-living
V. fischeri cells in seawater serve as the inoculum for the [...] |
