Genome sequence of Vibrio fluvialis 362.3 isolated from coral Mussismilia braziliensis reveals genes related to marine environment adaptation

Vibrio fluvialis is a halophilic bacterium frequently found in estuarine and coastal waters environments. The strain 362.3 was isolated from Mussismilia braziliensis coral of Abrolhos Bank. In this study, to gain insights into the marine adaptation in V. fluvialis, we sequenced the genome of 362.3 strain, which comprised 4,607,294 bp with a G + C content of 50.2%. In silico analysis showed that V. fluvialis 362.2 encodes genes related to chitin catabolic pathway, iron metabolism, osmotic stress and membrane transport.
