Genetic examination of the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea and effects of its metamorphosis-inducing factors.

Abstract excerpt

Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea is a globally distributed marine bacterium that stimulates the metamorphosis of marine animal larvae, an important bacteria-animal interaction that can promote the recruitment of animals to benthic ecosystems. Recently, different P. luteoviolacea isolates have been shown to produce two stimulatory factors that can induce tubeworm and coral metamorphosis; Metamorphosis-Associated...
