Complete genome analysis of pathogenic Metschnikowia bicuspidata strain MQ2101 isolated from diseased ridgetail white prawn, Exopalaemon carinicauda.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Metschnikowia bicuspidata is a pathogenic yesst that can cause disease in many different economic aquatic animal species. In recent years, there was a new disease outbreak in ridgetail white prawn (Exopalaemon carinicauda) in coastal areas of Jiangsu Province China that was referred to as zombie disease by local farmers. The pathogen was first isolated and identified as M. bicuspidata. Although the pathogenicity and pathogenesis of this pathogen in other animals have been reported in some previous studies, research on its molecular mechanisms is still very limited. Therefore, a genome-wide study is necessary to better understand the physiological and pathogenic mechanisms of M. bicuspidata.

Result

In this study, we obtained a pathogenic strain, MQ2101, of M. bicus
