Abstract excerpt
Juvenile oyster disease (JOD) in Crassostrea virginica is caused by the marine bacterium Roseovarius crassostreae. Although the 16S rRNA genes of the bacterial isolates exhibit little variation, 2 genetic signatures (GSI and GSII) may be discerned by Ava I digestion of the 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer (ITS). In this study we analyzed isolates from JOD epizootics throughout the northeastern USA (including...
