Abstract
Pseudomonas alcaligenes infection is rare in aquaculture. In this study, we provide the first report on the characterization of P. alcaligenes from koi (a variant of Common Carp Cyprinus carpio) in China. A gram-negative bacterium was isolated from the diseased koi and was named KCP-516. Morphological and biochemical tests as well as phylogenetic tree analyses derived from 16S ribosomal RNA, gyrase subunit A, and gyrase subunit B gene sequencing all strongly indicated that the isolate KCP-516 was P. alcaligenes. In liquid medium, the optimal growth conditions were 25°C, 2.5% NaCl, and pH 8. The pathogenicity of the isolate was demonstrated in koi, with 7.0 × 104 CFU/g fish weight identified as the dose lethal to 50% of test fish. The results will provide a scientific reference for the diagnosis and treatment of P. alcaligenes infection.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Aquatic Animal Health serves the international community of scientists and culturists concerned with the health of aquatic organisms. It carries research papers on the causes, effects, treatments, and prevention of diseases of marine and freshwater organisms, particularly fish and shellfish. In addition, it contains papers that describe biochemical and physiological investigations into fish health that relate to assessing the impacts of both environmental and pathogenic features.
