Vibrio fischeri ES114 is a bioluminescent symbiont of the squid Euprymna scolopes. Like most isolates from E. scolopes, ES114 produces only dim luminescence outside the host, even in dense cultures. We previously identified mutants with brighter luminescence, and here we report their symbiotic phenotypes, providing insights into the host environment.
发光弧菌 ES114 是鱿鱼 Euprymna scolopes 的生物发光共生体。与来自 E. scolopes 的大多数分离株一样,ES114 在宿主之外仅产生微弱的发光,即使在密集培养物中也是如此。我们之前鉴定出了发光更亮的突变体,在此我们报告它们的共生表型,深入了解宿主环境。
