Vibrio harveyi

Ulitzer and Hastings, 1979 Riendeau and Meighen, 1980). The chemical structure of the autoinducer of P. (Vibrio) fischeri was determined by Eberhard et al. (1981) to be an acylhomoserine lactone (1), shown below. The autoinducer of Vibrio harveyi was found to be another acylhomoserine lactone (2) by Cao and Meighen (1989).

It has been shown that the nitroreductases from Escherichia coli and Vibrio harveyi are homologous to the chromate reductase from Pseudomonas ambigua (Kwak et al. 2003).

The Keasling group [175] demonstrated that the flavin reductase from Vibrio harveyi, when expressed in E. coli along with the dsz cassette, enhanced biodesulfurization rate by about six-fold. However, it should be noted that the overexpression of the flavin oxidoreductase results only in increase in DBT removal rate, but not HBP production rate. This is expected since the flavin reductase is only required for the first two steps of desulfurization. Another interesting result from this study was the reduced rate of HBP production when the flavin reductase was co-expressed. This was probably due... 

The bacterial bioluminescent reaction is also catalyzed by a luciferase (EC 1.14.14.3) isolated from marine bacteria. The four most studied types are Vibrio harveyi, Vibrio fischeri, Photobacterium phosphoreum and Photobacterium leiognathi18, 19. In these different luminescent bacteria the...

Bacterial cells of Oenococcus oeni incubated for 48 h with three azo dyes (Fast red, Fast orange, and Methanil yellow) gave rise to decolorization due to adsorption, from 68% with Fast red to 30% with Fast orange and Methanil yellow [41]. Ozdemir et al. [44] observed a 93.9% decolorization of Acid Black 210 within 24 h by Vibrio harveyi TEMS1, a bioluminescent bacterium isolated from coastal seawater in Turkey. After extraction in methanol of biomass, the major part of the decolorized dye was recovered, indicating that decolorization was mainly due to...
