Isolation of from two native fish species ( and ) reared in Chile and description of subsp. subsp. nov. Free

Abstract

A group of seven Chilean isolates presumptively belonging to was isolated from diseased fine flounders () and red conger eel () experimentally reared in Quintay (Chile). All isolates were confirmed as members of on the basis of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight MS, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, DNA–DNA hybridization values and G+C content. The ERIC-PCR and REP-PCR patterns were homogeneous among those isolates recovered from the same host (red conger or fine flounders), but distinct from the type strains subsp. CECT 4600 and subsp. CECT 8161. On the basis of , , , and gene sequence similarities (99.7–100 %) and clustering in the phylogenetic trees, the red conger isolates (Q20, Q047, Q48 and Q50) were confirmed as representing subsp. However, they differed from subsp. CECT 4600 in their lipase, alpha quimiotripsin and non-acid phosphatase production. On the other hand, the fine flounder isolates (QL-9, QL-35 and QL-41) showed , and gene sequence similarities ranging from 91.6 to 97.7 % with the type strains of the two subspecies (CECT 4600 and CECT 8161) and consistently clustered together as an independent phylogenetic line within . Moreover, they could be differentiated phenotypically from strains CECT 4600 and CECT 8161 by nine and three different biochemical tests, respectively. In conclusion, the presence of in diseased red conger eel and fine flounder was demonstrated, extending the known host range and geographical location for this pathogen. Furthermore, this study demonstrates that the three isolates from fine flounder represent a novel subdivision within , for which the name subsp. subsp. nov. is proposed and with QL-9 (=CECT 8851=LMG 28759) as the type strain. Although QL-9 was isolated from kidney of diseased fine flounder specimens, the challenge assays showed that it was non-pathogenic for this species.
