Characterization of the causative organism of ornamental fish mycobactriosis in Malaysia

The causative organism of fish mycobacteriosis in ornamental fish (goldfish, Carassius auratu and red eyed tetra, Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae) in Malaysia was characterized by examining biochemical and physiological properties. The organism formed tiny white colonies in less than three days at 30°C...
