Comparative phenotype and transcriptome analysis revealed the role of ferric uptake regulator (Fur) in the virulence of Vibrio harveyi isolated from diseased American eel (Anguilla rostrata).

Abstract excerpt

Vibrio harveyi is commonly found in salt and brackish water and is recognized as a serious bacterial pathogen in aquaculture worldwide. In this study, we cloned the ferric uptake regulator (fur) gene from V. harveyi wild-type strain HA_1, which was isolated from diseased American eels (Anguilla rostrata) and has a length of 450 bp, encoding 149 amino acids. Then, a mutant strain, HA_1-Δfur, was constructed...
