In vitro CK108 Transcriptome Profiles with Subinhibitory Concentrations of Phenol and Formalin Reveal New Insights into Bacterial Pathogenesis Mechanisms.

Phenol and formalin are major water pollutants that are frequently discharged into the aquatic milieu. These chemicals can affect broad domains of life, including microorganisms. Aquatic pollutants, unlike terrestrial pollutants, are easily diluted in water environments and exist at a sub-inhibitory concentration (sub-IC), thus not directly inhibiting bacterial growth.

Draft Genome Sequence of a Fish Pathogen, Isolate CK41.

CK41 is a fish-pathogenic Gram-negative bacterium isolated from diseased flounder in the Republic of Korea. Here, we report the genome sequence of CK41, comprising one chromosome of 3.76 Mbp and one plasmid of 72.

The Sterilization Effect of Methylene Blue, Formalin, and Iodine on Egg and Adult Stage of Marine Medaka, .

The sterilization effects of methylene blue (MB), formalin, and iodine on the egg of marine medaka, , were investigated for disinfecting naididae worm, through sterilization. To determine harmfulness of MB, formalin, and iodine, lethal concentrations 50 (LC) of three chemicals were analyzed in the eggs of marine medaka. The sterilized periods of each chemical were set at 1 hr.
