摘要

Abstract

Flavobacterium columnare is the pathogenic agent of columnaris disease in aquaculture. Using a recently developed gene deletion strategy

two genes that encode the Glyco_hydro_19 domain (GH19 domain) containing proteins

ghd-1 and ghd-2

were deleted separately and together from the F. columnare G4 wild type strain. Surprisingly

the single-

Δghd-1 and Δghd-2

and double-gene mutants

Δghd-1 Δghd -2

all had rhizoid and non-rhizoid colony morphotypes

which we named Δghd-1

Δghd-2

Δghd-1 Δghd-2

and NΔghd-1

NΔghd-2

and NΔghd-1 Δghd-2. However

chitin utilization was not detected in either these mutants or in the wild type. Instead

skimmed milk degradation was observed for the mutants and the wild type; the non-rhizoid strain NΔghd-2 exhibited higher degradation activity as revealed by the larger transparent circle on the skimmed milk plate. Using zebrafish as the model organism

we found that non-rhizoid mutants had higher LD50 values and were less virulent because zebrafish infected with these survived longer. Transcriptome analysis between the non-rhizoid and rhizoid colony morphotypes of each mutant

i.e.

NΔ ghd -1 versus (vs) Δghd-1

NΔghd-2 vs Δghd-2

and NΔghd-1 Δghd-2 vs Δghd-1 Δghd-2

revealed a large number of differentially expressed genes

among which 39 genes were common in three of the pairs compared. Although most of these genes encode hypothetical proteins

a few molecules such as phage tail protein

rhs element Vgr protein

thiol-activated cytolysin

and TonB-dependent outer membrane receptor precursor

expression of which was down-regulated in non-rhizoid mutants but up-regulated in rhizoid mutants

may play a role F. columnare virulence.
