Characterization and Relatedness of Marine Vibrios Pathogenic to Fish: Deoxyribonucleic Acid Homology and Base Composition

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) isolated from several pathogenic marine vibrios was utilized in studies of base composition and nucleotide sequence relationships. Patterns of relatedness inferred from DNA criteria were found to correlate closely with those inferred from morphological, physiological, and serological analysis of the same organisms. The utility of the phenotypic and genotypic approaches to the determination of relatedness is discussed.
