青虾“红体病”组织病理学观察

用连续切片的方法对患有红体病的青虾进行组织病理学研究，结果表明患病青虾鳃部、肌肉组织和肝胰腺部位病症比较明显，不同患病阶段组织变形差异显著。鳃片细胞在患病初期表现为胞质收缩，后期则细胞膨胀破裂。细胞内物质外溢，细胞边缘界限不完整；肌肉组织在后期出现肌纤维束之间间隙，且部分肌纤维有断裂的现象；中期肝小叶间隔出现空隙和腺细胞变形，在后期则表现为小叶溃烂。造成青虾因红体病死亡的原因，初期主要是因为鳃片的组织病变导致呼吸困难，进而造成青虾生理异常；后期主要是因为肝胰脏的溃烂造成消化功能全面丧失。     

臭氧对不同介质中弧菌的杀灭效果研究

选用飘浮弧菌、副溶血弧菌和溶藻弧菌3种弧菌作为实验材料，研究了臭氧对不同介质中弧茵的杀灭效果。结果表明，将臭氧浓度为0．27mg／L的臭氧化海水加入到不同介质中杀菌效果差异显著，在纯海水中4～6min即可达到100％的杀灭率；在可溶性淀粉(SS)浓度为40mg／L的海水中需要10min才能达到100％的杀灭率；在牛血清蛋白(BSA)浓度为40mg／L的海水中，12min后杀灭率仅为90．69％～94．07％。在海水中加入淀粉和牛血清蛋白，臭氧的杀菌效果下降，二者比较牛血清蛋白对臭氧杀菌效果的影响明显大于淀粉。

应用间接荧光抗体技术快速检测花鲈病原菌——鳗弧菌

以花鲈（Lateolabrax japonicus)弧菌病的病原菌-鳗弧菌（Vibrio anguillarum)W-1为抗原，制备兔抗血清；利用异硫氰酸荧光素标记的羊抗兔免疫球蛋白（FITC-IgG）为荧光标记二抗，并以罗丹明标记的牛血清白蛋白为背景染色，建立检测鳗弧菌的间接荧光抗体快速检测技术。应用该技术对人工感染后的花鲈组织（肌肉、鳃、肠、肾）样品和养殖水体样品进行了鳗弧菌检测，结果显示间接荧光抗体技术不仅可以用于诊断发病的感染花鲈，也可用于检测带菌状态或未发病的感染花鲈。     

不同环境条件对溶藻弧菌粘附大黄鱼肠粘液的影响

研究了不同环境条件下溶藻弧菌对大黄鱼肠粘液的粘附作用。采用细菌计数法测定溶藻弧菌的粘附作用。粘附的细菌经SYBR GreenⅠ染色后在荧光显微镜下观察，用数码相机拍照后在电脑上计数。试验结果表明，溶藻弧菌对大黄鱼肠粘液的粘附量随菌浓度的升高而升高，并在1—1．5h内趋于饱和；粘附作用在15—30℃、pH偏酸时较强；盐度在5—35范围内对前肠粘液的粘附作用影响不明显，后肠粘液的粘附作用在此范围内随盐度增大而加强，在盐度为0时，溶藻弧菌对前、后肠粘液都无粘附作用；56℃热处理5min及60℃处理1h均能大幅减弱溶藻弧菌对两种肠粘液的粘附作用，表明溶藻弧菌表面的某些热敏结构在粘附作用中起着重要作用。根据以上结果，可以认为溶藻弧菌能够很好地粘附于大黄鱼肠粘液层，其粘附作用受温度、盐度、pH值等环境因子影响很大，溶藻弧菌表面的某些热敏结构可能在粘附过程中起着重要作用。研究结果表明，溶藻弧菌对大黄鱼肠粘液的粘附作用是可控制的，这对于鱼类养殖疾病的控制有一定的参考价值。

Effect of in vitro exposure to Vibrio vulnificus on hydroelectrolytic transport and structural changes of sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) intestine

The everted gut sac technique has been used to investigate the effect of Vibrio vulnificus on water and electrolyte (Na⁺, K⁺, Cl⁻, HCO₃ ⁻) transport on the intestine of sea bream (Sparus aurata L.). Both the anterior and the posterior intestine were incubated in a medium containing 10⁸ V. vulnificus cells ml⁻¹ at 25°C for 2 h. The presence of V. vulnificus resulted in a significant reduction (P < 0.05) of water absorption in the anterior intestine, while sodium absorption in the anterior (P < 0.01) and posterior (P < 0.05) intestine was elevated. Chloride absorption was increased, but the changed was not significant, while potassium absorption decreased significantly (P < 0.05), but only in the posterior intestine. Incubation the sea bream intestine with V. vulnificus did not affect carbonate secretion in the anterior segment, whereas high secretion was stimulated in the posterior segment (P < 0.01). Histological evaluations demonstrated damage in the anterior intestine of sea bream that was characterized by the detachment of degenerative enterocytes, alterations in the microvilli, and the presence of a heterogenous cell population, indicating inflammation. Based on our results, we conclude that V. vulnificus caused cell damage to the intestine of sea bream and that the anterior intestine is more susceptible than the posterior part of the intestine. Several hypotheses are suggested to explain our observations, such as the presence of higher numbers of villosities in the anterior intestine than in the posterior one and/or the presence of endogenous bacteria in the posterior intestine which may have a protector role.     

Application of the rpoS gene for the detection of Vibrio anguillarum in flounder and prawn by polymerase chain reaction

Vibrio anguillarum , an opportunistic fish pathogen, is the main species responsible for vibriosis, a disease that affects feral and farmed fish and shellfish, and causes considerable economic losses in marine aquaculture. In this study, we used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect V. anguillarum . PCR specificity was evaluated by amplifying the rpoS gene, a general stress regulator, in six strains of V. anguillarum and 36 other bacterial species. PCR amplified a species-specific fragment (689 bp) from V. anguillarum . Furthermore, the PCR assay was sensitive enough to detect rpoS expression from 3 pg of genomic DNA , or from six colony-forming units (CFU) mL⁻¹ of cultured V. anguillarum . However, the assay was less sensitive when genomic DNA from the infected flounder and prawn was used (limit of detection, 50 ng and 10 ng g⁻¹ tissue, respectively). These data demonstrate that PCR amplification of the rpoS gene is a sensitive and species-specific method to detect V. anguillarum in practical situations.     

Putative virulence-related genes in Vibrio anguillarum identified by random genome sequencing

The genome of Vibrio anguillarum strain H775-3 was partially determined by a random sequencing procedure. A total of 2,300 clones, 2,100 from a plasmid library and 200 from a cosmid library, were sequenced and subjected to homology search by the BLAST algorithm. The total length of the sequenced clones is 1.5 Mbp. The nucleotide sequences were classified into 17 broad functional categories. Forty putative virulence-related genes were identified, 36 of which are novel in V. anguillarum, including a repeat in toxin gene cluster, haemolysin genes, enterobactin gene, protease genes, lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis genes, capsule biosynthesis gene, flagellar genes and pilus genes.
