摘要: Bacterial septicemia commonly occurs and usually cause huge losses in sericulture industry. Here, two pathogenic bacterial strains were isolated from dead silkworm and named as ZJ-1 and ZJ-2. Phenotypic and genotypic analysis results revealed that both of these two strains are closely related toSerratia marcescens(S. marcescens). The morphological as well as physiological and biochemical characteristics of ZJ-1 were accordant withS. marcescensmentioned in Bergey's manual of determinative bacteriology, whereas ZJ-2 showed some discrepancies such as the utilization of malonate and starch, fermentation of maltose and sucrose, and tests of urease, etc. Surprisingly, ZJ-2 could produce red pigment at high temperature (37 degrees) but ZJ-1 could not. Besides, by analyzing the lethal concentration 50 (LC50) of ZJ-1 and ZJ-2, it was found that the virulence of ZJ-2 was lower than that of ZJ-1. These results revealed that ZJ-1 and ZJ-2 were two different strains ofS. marcescensand that ZJ-2 was expected to be a safe (low-toxicity) and efficient strain for the production of red pigment. Nonetheless, further research in molecular level is needed to understand the regulation mechanism of pigment production and infection of ZJ-2.
