Abstract:
An oligonucleotide DNA probe based on 5S rRNA sequence data was constructed for the identification of the fish pathogens, Vibrio anguillarum and Vibrio ordalii. Specificity of the probe was tested in a colony blot hybridization assay. The respective probe was found to be specific for both V. anguillarum and V. ordalii. No cross hybridization was observed against other fish pathogens and the closely related Vibrionaceae genera. This specific probe may be useful for rapid identification of V. anguillarum and V. ordalii.

Labeling DNA Probes
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...
Southern Blot
Denatured DNA fragments must be transferred onto a carrier membrane from the gel to make it accessible to a probe - a small ssDNA fragment complementary to the target DNA...
