Printed on acid-free paper This Springer imprint is published by Springer Nature The registered company is Springer International Publishing AG Switzerland To Aurelia Jean Pref ace This sixth edition of Bacterial Fish Pathogens is the successor to the original ver- sion, fi rst published by Ellis Horwood Limited in 1987, which was planned to fi ll the need for an up-to-date comprehensive text on the biological aspects of the bacte- rial taxa which cause disease in fi sh. In those days, interest focused largely on bacte- rial kidney disease, the Cytophaga -like bacteria (CLBs), furunculosis and vibriosis (caused by Vibrio anguillarum). Over the intervening years, we have witnessed changes in impetus as new methodologies, notably involving molecular biology, have been developed. Interest in vaccines has been overtaken by probiotics and plant products. In terms of the number of publications, Aeromonas hydrophila is the pathogen of the moment. The impetus to prepare a sixth edition stemmed initially from discussion with the publisher when it became apparent that the book was par- ticularly well used (there have been >19,000 downloads since the publication of the fi fth edition in 2012). Since publishing the fi fth edition in 2012, there has been only a comparatively few new bacterial fi sh pathogens described, but numerous publica- tions deal with diagnosis, pathogenicity and especially control. Consequently with all the new publications, we considered that it is timely to prepare a new edition. Thinking back to the preparation of the fi rst edition, it is mind numbing how the mechanics of publication have changed. For the fi rst edition, we spent ages in librar- ies, using interlibrary loans; pouring over paper copies of journals, books and monographs; making handwritten notes; and preparing text for typing [on a type- writer – corrections led to use of white-out or the typing of replacement pages]. Line drawings were done using a drawing board, Rotring pens, set squares/French curves and stencils. Photographs were developed in a dark room and could be hit or miss in terms of quality. Now, we have access to an even wider range of journals electroni- cally, which have been accessed from the laptop computer via a wireless Internet connection. Weeks of waiting for interlibrary loans from around the globe did not even feature during the initial research phase of the fi fth or sixth editions. Because of the extensive new information published since the start of the millennium, we have been selective and, in particular, have once again condensed details of the pathology of the diseases, because there are excellent texts already available, which cover detailed aspects of the pathological conditions. For some diseases that have vii viii Preface occurred only occasionally and mostly in the distant past, we have condensed the text. Nevertheless, this sixth edition will hopefully meet the needs of the readership. As with all the preceding editions, it is emphasised that most of the information still appertains to diseases of farmed, rather than wild, fi sh. The scope of the book covers all of the bacterial taxa, which have at one time or another been reported as fi sh pathogens. Of course, it is realised that some taxa are merely secondary invaders of already damaged tissues, whereas others comprise serious, primary pathogens. Shortcomings in the literature or gaps in the overall understanding of the subject have been highlighted, sometimes with subtlety. As a general comment, it is still apparent that little is known about anaerobic or micro- aerophilic pathogens – does this mean that they do not exist, or are scientists ignor- ing them? Also, it is mostly unclear whether organisms act by themselves or with others to cause a disease manifestation. Uncultured pathogens have been recognised in the form of Candidatus whereby the organisms may be visualised in pathological material, but not grown in the laboratory. The cause of some diseases is uncertain, although in the case of red mark syndrome/strawberry disease of rainbow trout, there is serological and molecular evidence for the involvement of rickettsial-like organisms, but which are still yet to be cultured. One wonders how many times the presence of uncultured or diffi cult-to-culture organisms is masked by culturable contaminants or secondary invaders. A fi nal comment is that the overwhelming bulk of publications deal with diseases caused by single species of pathogen. Is this really true in that disease is a pure culture phenomenon, or is science missing micro- bial consortia that could work synergistically, simultaneously or sequentially to cause disease? In preparing the text, we have sought both advice and material from colleagues. We are especially grateful to the following for the supply of photographs: Dr. J.W. Brunt Dr. G. Dear Dr. M.

  • The Hydrocarbon Biodegradation Potential of Faroe-Shetland Channel Bacterioplankton
    THE HYDROCARBON BIODEGRADATION POTENTIAL OF FAROE-SHETLAND CHANNEL BACTERIOPLANKTON Angelina G. Angelova Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Heriot Watt University School of Engineering and Physical Sciences July 2017 The copyright in this thesis is owned by the author. Any quotation from the thesis or use of any of the information contained in it must acknowledge this thesis as the source of the quotation or information. ABSTRACT The Faroe-Shetland Channel (FSC) is an important gateway for dynamic water exchange between the North Atlantic Ocean and the Nordic Seas. In recent years it has also become a frontier for deep-water oil exploration and petroleum production, which has raised the risk of oil pollution to local ecosystems and adjacent waterways. In order to better understand the factors that influence the biodegradation of spilled petroleum, a prerequisite has been recognized to elucidate the complex dynamics of microbial communities and their relationships to their ecosystem. This research project was a pioneering attempt to investigate the FSC’s microbial community composition, its response and potential to degrade crude oil hydrocarbons under the prevailing regional temperature conditions. Three strategies were used to investigate this. Firstly, high throughput sequencing and 16S rRNA gene-based community profiling techniques were utilized to explore the spatiotemporal patterns of the FSC bacterioplankton. Monitoring proceeded over a period of 2 years and interrogated the multiple water masses flowing through the region producing 2 contrasting water cores: Atlantic (surface) and Nordic (subsurface). Results revealed microbial profiles more distinguishable based on water cores (rather than individual water masses) and seasonal variability patterns within each core.

  • Cryptic Inoviruses Revealed As Pervasive in Bacteria and Archaea Across Earth’S Biomes

Wrighton3, Tanja Woyke 1, Axel Visel 1, Nikos C. Kyrpides1 and Emiley A. Eloe-Fadrosh 1* Bacteriophages from the Inoviridae family (inoviruses) are characterized by their unique morphology, genome content and infection cycle. One of the most striking features of inoviruses is their ability to establish a chronic infection whereby the viral genome resides within the cell in either an exclusively episomal state or integrated into the host chromosome and virions are continuously released without killing the host. To date, a relatively small number of inovirus isolates have been extensively studied, either for biotechnological applications, such as phage display, or because of their effect on the toxicity of known bacterial pathogens including Vibrio cholerae and Neisseria meningitidis. Here, we show that the current 56 members of the Inoviridae family represent a minute fraction of a highly diverse group of inoviruses. Using a machine learning approach lever- aging a combination of marker gene and genome features, we identified 10,295 inovirus-like sequences from microbial genomes and metagenomes. Collectively, our results call for reclassification of the current Inoviridae family into a viral order including six distinct proposed families associated with nearly all bacterial phyla across virtually every ecosystem.

They can be caused by many organisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. The lack of rapid, accurate, and reliable means of detecting and identifying fish pathogens is one of the main limitations in fish pathogen diagnosis and disease management and has triggered the search for alternative diagnostic techniques. In this regard, the advent of molecular biology, especially polymerase chain reaction (PCR), provides alternative means for detecting and iden- tifying fish pathogens. Many techniques have been developed, each requiring its own protocol, equipment, and expertise. A major challenge at the moment is the development of multiplex assays that allow accurate detection, identification, and quantification of multiple pathogens in a single assay, even if they belong to different superkingdoms. In this review, recent advances in molecular fish pathogen diagnosis are discussed with an emphasis on nucleic acid-based detec- tion and identification techniques.

  • The Different Dietary Sugars Modulate The
    Wang et al. BMC Microbiology (2020) 20:61 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12866-020-01726-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The different dietary sugars modulate the composition of the gut microbiota in honeybee during overwintering Hongfang Wang, Chunlei Liu, Zhenguo Liu, Ying Wang, Lanting Ma and Baohua Xu* Abstract Background: The health of honeybee colonies is critical for bee products and agricultural production, and colony health is closely associated with the bacteria in the guts of honeybees. Although colony loss in winter is now the primary restriction in beekeeping, the effects of different sugars as winter food on the health of honeybee colonies are not well understood. Therefore, in this study, the influence of different sugar diets on honeybee gut bacteria during overwintering was examined. Results: The bacterial communities in honeybee midguts and hindguts before winter and after bees were fed honey, sucrose, and high-fructose syrup as winter-food were determined by targeting the V3-V4 region of 16S rDNA using the Illumina MiSeq platform. The dominant microbiota in honeybee guts were the phyla Proteobacteria (63.17%), Firmicutes (17.61%; Lactobacillus, 15.91%), Actinobacteria (4.06%; Bifidobacterium, 3.34%), and Bacteroidetes (1.72%). The dominant taxa were conserved and not affected by season, type of overwintering sugar, or spatial position in the gut. However, the relative abundance of the dominant taxa was affected by those factors. In the midgut, microbial diversity of the sucrose group was higher than that of the honey and high-fructose syrup groups, but in the hindgut, microbial diversity of the honey and high-fructose groups was higher than that in the sucrose group.

By combining metagenomics and amplicon screening across several populations of two louse genera (Polyplax and Hoplopleura) we describe a novel louse symbiont lineage related to Neisseria and Snodgrassella, and show its' independent origin within dynamic lice microbiomes. While the genomes of these symbionts are highly similar in both lice genera, their respective distributions and status within lice microbiomes indicate that they have different functions and history. In Hoplopleura acanthopus, the Neisseria-related bacterium is a dominant obligate symbiont universally present across several host’s populations, and seems to be replacing a presumably older and more degenerated obligate symbiont.
