A g-Type Lysozyme from Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vent Shrimp Kills Selectively Gram-Negative Bacteria.

Lysozyme is a key effector molecule of the innate immune system in both vertebrate and invertebrate. It is classified into six types, one of which is the goose-type (g-type). To date, no study on g-type lysozyme in crustacean has been documented.

Characterization of a Deep Sea Isolate: Genomic and Pathogenic Features.

is a group of Gram-positive bacteria belonging to the group and used in some cases as probiotics or biocontrol agents. To our knowledge, from the deep sea (depth >1,000 m) has not been documented. Here, we report the isolation and characterization of a strain, P18, from a deep sea hydrothermal field.

A First Study of the Virulence Potential of a Isolate From Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vent.

is the best studied Gram-positive bacterium, primarily as a model of cell differentiation and industrial exploitation. To date, little is known about the virulence of . In this study, we examined the virulence potential of a strain (G7) isolated from the Iheya North hydrothermal field of Okinawa Trough.
