Comparative study of biological properties and electrophoretic characteristics of lipopolysaccharide from eel-virulent and eel-A virulent Vibrio vulnificus strains.

In Vibrio vulnificus, virulence for eels is associated with serovar E strains. In this study, we investigated some biological properties of purified lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) from serovar E and non-serovar E strains. Purified LPSs retained their O-polysaccharidic side chains and did not show any differences that could be related to host specificity, except for serological differences.

The effect of pressure on the lateral swimming muscle of the European eel Anguilla anguilla and the deep sea eel Histiobranchus bathybius; results of Challenger cruise 6B/85.

1. The viability of Histiobranchus lateral muscle was prolonged up to 7 times by recompression of the tissue. 2. The maximum twitch contraction force of both Anguilla and Histiobranchus was recorded at a pressure between 150 and 350 atm. At 1 atm Anguilla developed 60% maximum force and Histiobranchus 10-20% maximum force. 3. Twitch contraction time doubled for a pressure increase of 400 atm. This effect is predicted to halve the maximum swimming speed at 4000 m and is discussed in relation to muscle force and anaerobic support.
