Homogeneity of Danish environmental and clinical isolates of Shewanella algae

Article Abstract:

The strain of Shewanella algae that causes human infection appears to be the same as the one found in the ocean. In an outbreak of human infection in Denmark in 1994, 49 of the 57 patients had swum in the sea shortly before symptoms developed.

Identification of Shewanella Baltica as the most important H2S-producing species during iced storage of Danish marine fish

Article Abstract:

More than 500 H2S-producing strains are isolated from iced stored marine fish caught in the Baltic Sea during winter or summer time in order to determine whether any of the new Shewanella species are important in fish spoilage. A shift in the Shewanella species is found during iced storage, and most of the H2S-producing strains are identified as Shewanella baltica.

Occurrence of Shewanella algae in Danish coastal water and effects of water temperature and culture conditions on its survival

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to examine the fate of the marine bacterium Shewanella algae under cold and nutrient-limited conditions. The objective was to determine the occurrence of S algae in Danish seawater. Results indicate that S algae would survive cold exposure better if in the biofilm state. However, culturable counts from S algae biofilms decreased as rapidly as did counts of planktonic cells.
