  Tenacibaculosis, caused by Tenacibaculum maritimum, can result in severe mortalities of several marine fish species and thus represents a major challenge in Mediterranean aquaculture. Serological knowledge about this pathogen is required to develop effective preventive measures (vaccination). For this purpose, nineteen T. maritimum isolates, recovered between 2008 and 2010 from diseased European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax, L.) farmed at the Aegean Sea Coasts of Turkey, were characterised. All isolates produced flat, irregular, pale yellow colonies after incubation at 22-24°C for 48 hours, displayed pleomorphism with gliding motility with a size ranging between 4-20 × 0,5 μm and were otherwise biochemically identical to the T. maritimum NCIMB 2154T reference strain. The specific fluorescence appearance of the T. maritimum isolates were.. View More»
