| deep-sea hydrothermal vent bacteria related to human pathogenic vibrio species. | vibrio species are both ubiquitous and abundant in marine coastal waters, estuaries, ocean sediment, and aquaculture settings worldwide. we report here the isolation, characterization, and genome sequence of a novel vibrio species, vibrio antiquarius, isolated from a mesophilic bacterial community associated with hydrothermal vents located along the east pacific rise, near the southwest coast of mexico. genomic and phenotypic analysis revealed v. antiquarius is closely related to pathogenic vibr ... | 2015 | 25964331 |
| genome sequence of vibrio diabolicus and identification of the exopolysaccharide he800 biosynthesis locus. | vibrio diabolicus, a marine bacterium originating from deep-sea hydrothermal vents, produces the he800 exopolysaccharide with high value for biotechnological purposes, especially for human health. its genome was sequenced and analyzed; phylogenetic analysis using the core genome revealed v. diabolicus is close to another deep-sea vibrio sp. (ex25) within the harveyi clade and alginolyticus group. a genetic locus homologous to the syp cluster from vibrio fischeri was demonstrated to be involved i ... | 2014 | 25273176 |
