Previously unrecognised division within Moritella viscosa isolated from fish farmed in the North Atlantic
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Previously undocumented phenotypical and genetic variation was identified amongst isolates of Moritella viscosa collected from various geographical locations and from different fish species. The studied isolates could be split into 2 major phenotypically and genetically different clusters, one of which was consistent with the species type strain (NCIMB 13548). Isolates consistent with the type strain originated exclusively from Atlantic salmon farmed in Norway, Scotland and the Faroe Isles, although a single isolate from farmed Norwegian cod clustered closely with this group. The 'variant' cluster comprised isolates originating from Norwegian farmed rainbow trout, Icelandic farmed rainbow trout and salmon, Canadian farmed (Atlantic) salmon, Icelandic lumpsucker and only exceptionally from Norwegian salmon. With the exception of the single aforementioned cod isolate, all isolates from Norwegian farmed cod belonged to the variant cluster. Phenotypically, the clusters could be absolutely separated only by elevated haemolytic activity in the variant strain, although approximately half of these isolates also produced acid from mannose, in contrast to the typical (type) strain. While 16S rRNA gene sequencing was unable to separate the 2 clusters, Western blot analyses, plasmid profile analysis, pulsed field gel electrophoresis and gyrB gene sequence analysis produced clusters consistent with the phenotypic data. Macroscopically and histologically the disease in rainbow trout caused by the variant strain was consistent with that previously described in Atlantic salmon. The results of the present study may indicate a degree of host specificity of the typical strain for Atlantic salmon.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
