キンコウワン ノ Vibrioゾク ト Pseudomonasゾク ニ カンスル ケンキュウ I : ソウジセイ

In the previous paper, the authors reported the isolation method of the bacteriophages living in the Kinko Bay, describing some characters of the host bacteria. The greater part of the organisms was classified as either Pseudomonas or Vibrios. In the study, the similarity between the individuals among those organisms was mainly discussed. The results obtained were as follows : 1) Similarity values calculated between A-4 and A-6; A-6 and B-4; A-4 and B-4, classified as Pseudomonas respectively, were in the range from 81% to 90%. 2) Of the three strains, A-4 was markedly similar to 1055-1 strain recognized as marine Pseudomonas, isolated at 694 m depth in North Pacific Ocean, their similarity values being above 93%. 3) The similarity value between the both strains B-5 and B-8, was above90 %. Similarly, that between the both strains B-1 and Vibrio parahaemolyticus was also above 90 %, while the value between the former two strains and the latter two strains was only 70% or so. 4) The B-1 is assumed to be a Vibrio, which was not ascertained in the previous study. In this examination, it was found to be markedly similar to the V. parahaemolyticus. Its similarity value was caluculated to be 93%, therefore B-1 is to be determined as a biotype of V. parahaemolyticus
