Strain 020920N was isolated from the estuary of the Kaeda river in the Miyazaki prefecture in Japan. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene showed the strain's close evolutionary relationship with bacteria from the genus , in the family . Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic features of the strain were investigated.

The mechanism of bacterial speciation remains a topic of tremendous interest. To understand the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms of speciation in bacteria, we analyzed the genomic dissimilarities between three closely related species in the so-called Harveyi clade of the genus , , , and The analysis focused on strains isolated from diverse geographic locations over a long period of time. The results of phylogenetic analyses and calculations of average nucleotide identity (ANI) supported the classification of and into two species.

Article Synopsis
  • Vibrio inhibens is a marine bacterium related to the Vibrio genus, specifically within the Harveyi clade, which includes at least 11 closely related species with similar traits.
  • Research indicates that distinguishing V. inhibens from other species in the Harveyi clade is challenging due to their similar phenotypic and genotypic properties.
  • Genomic analysis shows that V. inhibens shares a high average nucleotide identity with Vibrio jasicida, leading to the proposal that V. inhibens should be classified as a synonym of V. jasicida.

Our purpose was to evaluate the toxicity of CyberKnifeTM based fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) in prostate cancer patients. One-hunred-thirty-two men with low (62) and intermediate (70) prostate cancer were enrolled in our prospective study. Mean age was 69.

Article Synopsis
  • Three luminous bacteria strains were isolated from seawater in Miyazaki, Japan, and classified as members of the Vibrio genus, closely related to the 'Harveyi clade.'
  • Their genomes range from 5.49Mbp to 5.95Mbp with an average G+C content of 43.91%.
  • Genomic and phenotypic analyses showed that these strains are distinct from known Vibrio species, leading to the proposal of a new species named Vibrio hyugaensis sp. nov.
