Vibrio sp. VNB-15 strain:VNB-15T | isolate:not applicable Genome sequencing. Vibrio sp. VNB-15 strain:VNB-15T | isolate:not applicable

A new bioluminescent bacterial strain has been isolated from the water of the Black Sea (Russia) and the intestines of the Black Sea horse mackerelThe cells are gram-negative slightly curved rods with a single polar flagellum. Phylogenetic analysis based on a comparison of 16S rRNA shows that this strain is related to Vibrio hyugaensis, Vibrio alginolyticus, Vibrio Campbelli, Vibrio rotiferianus, Vibrio harveyi and Vibrio owensiiIt differs from closely related species in its ability to utilize glucose, mannitol, inositol, sorbitol, rhamnose and sucrose, as well as to form lysine decarboxylase, ornithine decarboxylase, lipase, acid phosphatase
