    • Identification and cloning of immunogenic Aliivibrio salmonicida Pal-like protein present in profiled outer membrane and secreted subproteome 

      Karlsen, Christian; Espelid, sigrun; Willassen, Nils P; Paulsen, steinar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Aliivibrio salmonicida is the aetiological agent of cold water vibriosis affecting farmed fish species, a disease that today is fully controlled by vaccination. However, the molecular mechanisms behind the successful vaccine are largely unknown. In order to gain insight into the possible mechanisms of A. salmonicida vaccines, we report here the profiles of both the outer membrane and secreted ...
    • Quorum Sensing Controls the CRISPR and Type VI Secretion Systems in Aliivibrio wodanis 06/09/139 

      Maharajan, Amudha Deepalakshmi; Hjerde, Erik; Hansen, Hilde; Willassen, Nils P (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-22)
      For bacteria to thrive in an environment with competitors, phages and environmental cues, they use different strategies, including Type VI Secretion Systems (T6SSs) and Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) to compete for space. Bacteria often use quorum sensing (QS), to coordinate their behavior as the cell density increases. Like other aliivibrios, Aliivibrio wodanis ...
    • Quorum sensing in Aliivibrio wodanis 06/09/139 and its role in controlling various phenotypic traits 

      Maharajan, Amudha Deepalakshmi; Hansen, Hilde; Khider, Miriam; Willassen, Nils P (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-24)
      Background Quorum Sensing (QS) is a cell-to-cell communication system that bacteria utilize to adapt to the external environment by synthesizing and responding to signalling molecules called autoinducers. The psychrotrophic bacterium Aliivibrio wodanis 06/09/139, originally isolated from a winter ulcer of a reared Atlantic salmon, produces the autoinducer N-3-hydroxy-decanoyl-homoserine-lactone ...
