Abstract

The entire 4.6-Mb genome of Vibrio sp. 16, encoding 4,270 genes, best matches with Vibrio rotiferianus. A 46-kb plasmid (pVDT1), alongside two circular chromosomes, showcases parAB/repB partition genes and three toxin/antitoxin systems potentially linked to phage infection.

Keywords: Vibrio; bacteriophage evolution; genome analysis; plasmids; toxin/antitoxin systems.
