Article Synopsis
- Taxonomic characterization was conducted on N(2)-fixing bacteria associated with the corals Mussismilia hispida and its related species near São Sebastião, Brazil.
- A total of 95 isolates were identified as belonging to the Gammaproteobacteria class, primarily within the Vibrio core group, based on 16S rDNA gene and pyrH gene sequencing.
- Among the isolates, several Vibrio species, including V. harveyi and V. alginolyticus, demonstrated the ability to grow in nitrogen-free environments and exhibited significant nitrogenase activity, suggesting nitrogen fixation is common among these Vibrio species in coral mucus.
