A rapid and sensitive AHPND-RPA assay was developed for the specific detection of the AHPND-causing Vibrio owensii. The AHPND-RPA detected as few as 2 copies per reaction in 9.02 ± 0.66 min at 39 °C, and showed 100% positive predictive value and negative predictive value for AHPND diagnosis.

The red spotting disease harms sea urchins to the extent of mass mortality in the ocean and echinocultures, accompanied by environmental damage and economic losses. The current study emphasizes the antimicrobial resistance of three isolated bacteria, closely related to , , and , associated with red spotting in the cultured sea urchin . In vitro trials examined the susceptibility of these bacterial isolates to various antibiotics.

Members of the genus are widely distributed in the marine environment and are known for their ability to produce tropodithietic acid (TDA). Studies investigating the genomic and metabolic features of strains from marine biofilms are sparse. Here, we analyze the complete genomes of 18 strains isolated from biofilms on subtidal stones, with the aim of determining their potential to synthesize secondary metabolites.

Article Synopsis
- AHPND is a severe shrimp disease caused by a specific strain of Vibrio that contains the virulence plasmid pAHPND with key genes (pirAB) responsible for its lethality.
- Researchers identified a genetic element related to another bacterium and discovered two related plasmids (pAHPND-r1 and pAHPND-r2) that might have contributed to the creation of pAHPND.
- The study suggests that the emergence of pAHPND involved genetic recombination processes, leading to the effective horizontal transfer of this plasmid, which is crucial for understanding how the disease spreads among shrimp populations.
Mass mortality of the keratose sponge in the Aegean Sea (Eastern Mediterranean) correlates with proliferation of bacteria in the tissues.

In the last two decades, episodes of mass mortality in benthic communities have often been associated with climatic anomalies, but the ultimate mechanisms through which they lead to death have rarely been identified. This study reports a mass mortality of wild sponges in the Aegean Sea (Turkey, Eastern Mediterranean), which affected the keratose demosponge in September 2021. We examined the occurrence of thermo-dependent bacteria of the genus in the sponges, identified through 16S rRNA of colonies isolated from sponge tissue in specific culturing media.
