Abstract
ABSTRACTA new Vibrio strain, V7A, was isolated from the intestinal tract of the Peruvian scallop (Argopecten purpuratus). Strain V7A clusters within the Mediterranei clade of the genus Vibrio and has the potential to produce bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS). Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Vibrio mediterranei strain V7A.
Highlights
A new Vibrio strain, V7A, was isolated from the intestinal tract of the Peruvian scallop (Argopecten purpuratus)
On the basis of pairwise genome comparison, strain V7A is affiliated with the Vibrio mediterranei clade of the genus Vibrio, with Vibrio mediterranei strain NBRC 15635 as the closest relative
V. mediterranei was isolated from diverse marine environments in the Mediterranean Sea in Spain [15]
Summary
A new Vibrio strain, V7A, was isolated from the intestinal tract of the Peruvian scallop (Argopecten purpuratus). Genomic species circumscription of the new isolate was achieved using the online server JSpeciesWS [14].
