The surface layers of Aeromonas salmonicida strain 1107/1B, isolated from Australian goldfish, had an extra layer beyond the normal outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. When the bacteria were grown in the presence of lithium this extra layer was not observed. The extra layer may be an important factor in both adherence and virulence.
