USING COLONIZATION ASSAYS AND COMPARATIVE GENOMICS TO DISCOVER SYMBIOSIS BEHAVIORS AND FACTORS IN VIBRIO FISCHERI

Using Colonization Assays and Comparative Genomics To Discover Symbiosis Behaviors and Factors in Vibrio fischeri

ABSTRACT The luminous marine Gram-negative bacterium Vibrio (Aliivibrio) fischeri is the natural light organ symbiont of several squid species, including the Hawaiian bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes, and the Japanese bobtail squid, Euprymna morsei.Work with E.scolopes has shown how the bacteria establish their niche in the light organ of the newly
