Phenotypic and genetic differences between opaque and translucent colonies of Vibrio alginolyticus.

Biofouling - 1 Jan 2009

Chang Chen, Jin Xie, Chaoqun Hu

Abstract excerpt

Many pathogens undergo phase variation between rugose and smooth colony morphology or between opaque and translucent colony morphology, which is mainly due to the variation in the surface polysaccharides. In this study, Vibrio alginolyticus ZJ-51 displayed phase variation between opaque, rugose colonies (Op) and translucent, smooth colonies (Tr). Unlike the vibrios reported previously, Tr cells of ZJ-51 enhanced...
