  • Title: [DNA-DNA homology and phenotypic characterization of environmental strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio pelagius].
    Author: Pujalte MJ, Amaro C, Garay E.
    Journal: Microbiologia; 1986 Oct; 2(2):121-8. PubMed ID: 3271060.
    Abstract:
    A taxonomic study by means of DNA homology and the most recent phenetic criteria has been carried out in 11 environmental strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and 4 of Vibrio pelagius, previously ascribed to the respective phenons in a numerical taxonomy study. The strains of V. parahaemolyticus showed genetic homogeneity, a guanine plus cytosine content (G + C) of 46% and 61% homology with V. parahaemolyticus type strain ATTC 17802. They exhibited phenetic atypicalities but could be ascribed to the species V. parahaemolyticus. The strains of V. pelagius behaved similarly in regard to the phenotype, but were genetically heterogeneous; they showed a % G + C of 44-46 and were assigned to V. splendidus-V. pelagius homology group.
