Abstract
ABSTRACT Three cohorts of farmed yellowtail kingfish ( Seriola lalandi ) from South Australia were examined for Chlamydia -like organisms associated with epitheliocystis. To characterize the bacteria, 38 gill samples were processed for histopathology, electron microscopy, and 16S rRNA amplification, sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis. Microscopically, the presence of membrane-enclosed cysts was observed within the gill lam
