Speaker 3, Lecturer, described plating crushed deep-sea copepods collected near hydrothermal vents and recovering colonies that produced Vibrio-like results on thiosulfate–citrate–bile salts (TCBS) agar. “We got the bright yellow colonies, and we tested them phonetically and then, through some gene probes confirmed that they were vibrio cholera like,” Speaker 3 said.
The lecturer said that full-genome sequencing (work in…
