Draft genome sequences of Vibrio strains associated with healthy and diseased specimens of the gorgonian coral Eunicella verrucosa. Genome sequences of gorgonian-associated Vibrio strains

We here report the draft genome sequences of three Vibrio strains isolated from healthy (Evh13) and necrotic (Evd3 and Evd11) gorgonian coral tissue. The size of their genomes ranges from 4.89 Mb (Evh13) to 5.38 Mb (Evd3) and their GC content is about 44%. The genomes contain between 4347 (Evh13) and 4787 (Evd11) coding sequences and between 60 (Evd11) and 110 (Evd3) RNA genes. Closest type species were identified by RDP (https://rdp.cme.msu.edu; April 2018) as Vibrio kanaloae LMG 20539 (Evh13), V. artabrorum LMG 23865 (Evd3) and V. tasmaniensis LMG 20012 (Evd11).

本研究报道了3株弧菌（Vibrio）的基因组草图序列，这些菌株分别从健康（Evh13）与坏死（Evd3、Evd11）的柳珊瑚组织中分离得到。各菌株的基因组大小介于4.89 Mb（Evh13）至5.38 Mb（Evd3）之间，GC含量约为44%。各基因组包含的编码序列数量介于4347（Evh13）至4787（Evd11）之间，RNA基因数量则介于60（Evd11）至110（Evd3）之间。通过核糖体数据库项目（Ribosomal Database Project，RDP，https://rdp.cme.msu.edu；2018年4月）鉴定出与各菌株亲缘关系最近的模式种分别为：Evh13对应坎氏弧菌（Vibrio kanaloae）LMG 20539，Evd3对应阿尔塔布拉弧菌（V. artabrorum）LMG 23865，Evd11对应塔斯马尼亚弧菌（V. tasmaniensis）LMG 20012。
