Article Abstract
Mucinase enzymes were isolated and partially purified from the culture fluid of Vibrio cholerae grown in proteose peptone-colostrum medium. The mucinase complex contained neuraminidase, endo-beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase, nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotidase and proteinases. Traces of phospholipase activity were detected but the complex lacked aldolase activity.

In this letter, the pull-off forces of adsorbed films of four Bap1-inspired peptides in various solvents were investigated on negatively charged mica substrates using the surface forces apparatus (SFA), complemented with dynamic light scattering (DLS) for characterizing the aggregation behavior of peptides in solution. Bap1-inspired peptides consisted of the 57 amino acid wild-type sequence (WT); a scrambled version of the WT used to investigate the impact of the primary amino acid sequence in pull-off forces (Scr); a ten amino acid sequence rich in hydrophobic content (CP) of the WT sequence, and an eight amino acid sequence (Sh1) that corresponds to the pseudo-repeating sequence in the 57 AA. SFA results showed remarkable pull-off forces for CP, particularly in the presence of salts: measured pull-off forces were 26.

Ethanolamine signaling through the transmembrane quorum-sensing receptor CqsR influences Vibrio cholerae niche recognition and host colonization. In this study, we present a comprehensive structure-function analysis of CqsR. Specifically, we have determined X-ray crystal structures of the CqsR periplasmic domain bound to the signaling agonist ethanolamine and its analogs, serinol and L-alaninol, as well as the ligand-free (apo) form of CqsR.

the causative agent of cholera, has triggered seven pandemics, with the seventh pandemic emerging in 1961. The success of seventh pandemic El Tor (7PET) as a human pathogen is linked to its acquisition of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) like the CTXΦ prophage and pathogenicity island 1 (VPI-1). Additional MGEs, including VPI-2 and the seventh pandemic islands (VSP-I and VSP-II), are thought to have further enhanced the pathogen's virulence potential.

Cholera remains a significant global health burden. The causative agent responsible for the ongoing cholera pandemic, which began in 1961, is the seventh pandemic El Tor (7PET) lineage of . Over the past century, lineages of have been traced using phage typing schemes, DNA hybridization on microarrays and, more recently, comparative genomics enabled by next-generation sequencing.

Natural populations of vibrio beyond the well-studied pandemic strains of , provide a powerful model for investigating the eco-evolutionary dynamics of microbial immune systems. Their genetic diversity, ecological versatility, ease of culturability and the availability of time-series data enable detailed studies of phage-host interactions in natural contexts. This review synthesizes recent advances in vibriophage research, highlighting key findings and emerging tools.
