Project description:Here, the complete genome sequence of sponge-associated Tenacibaculum mesophilum DSM 13764T is presented. T. mesophilum is a close relative of the fish pathogen T. maritimum, which causes significant fish disease outbreaks in aquaculture facilities. The T. mesophilum genome sequence will serve as an important resource for comparative genomics approaches.
Project description:Tenacibaculum finnmarkense is a novel Gram-negative, aerobic bacterial strain causing skin ulcers in Atlantic salmon. This is an emerging pathogen, which may cause serious problems to aquaculture. The study was designed to compare the life stages (smolt and posmolt) and to assess effects of environment (fresh and brackis water) on the course of disease and salmon responses to the pathogen.
