Figure 1:
Picture (A) showed a scale image of Asian seabass and a zoomed picture of detachable scales and haemorrhage on skin (B).
Figure 2:
V. alginolyticus shows whitish colonies on CHROMagarTM Vibrio (white agar plate), yellow colonies on TCBS agar (yellow agar plate).
Figure 3:
The colA virulence gene of Vibrio alginolyticus was detected by using 1.5% of gel electrophoresis with 737bp size. Notes: M: 100 bp DNA ladder.
