Vibrio owensii GRA50-12 was isolated from symbiotic green algae of coral. The genome contains genes encoding toxin production, virulence regulation, stress response proteins, types II, IV, and VI secretion systems, and proteins for the metabolism of aromatic compounds, which reflects its pathogenic potential and its ecological roles in the ocean.

Members of the genus are widely distributed in the marine environment and are known for their ability to produce tropodithietic acid (TDA). Studies investigating the genomic and metabolic features of strains from marine biofilms are sparse. Here, we analyze the complete genomes of 18 strains isolated from biofilms on subtidal stones, with the aim of determining their potential to synthesize secondary metabolites.

Article Synopsis
- AHPND is a severe shrimp disease caused by a specific strain of Vibrio that contains the virulence plasmid pAHPND with key genes (pirAB) responsible for its lethality.
- Researchers identified a genetic element related to another bacterium and discovered two related plasmids (pAHPND-r1 and pAHPND-r2) that might have contributed to the creation of pAHPND.
- The study suggests that the emergence of pAHPND involved genetic recombination processes, leading to the effective horizontal transfer of this plasmid, which is crucial for understanding how the disease spreads among shrimp populations.
Mass mortality of the keratose sponge in the Aegean Sea (Eastern Mediterranean) correlates with proliferation of bacteria in the tissues.

In the last two decades, episodes of mass mortality in benthic communities have often been associated with climatic anomalies, but the ultimate mechanisms through which they lead to death have rarely been identified. This study reports a mass mortality of wild sponges in the Aegean Sea (Turkey, Eastern Mediterranean), which affected the keratose demosponge in September 2021. We examined the occurrence of thermo-dependent bacteria of the genus in the sponges, identified through 16S rRNA of colonies isolated from sponge tissue in specific culturing media.

Vibrio owensii is a widely distributed marine vibrio species that causes acute hepatopancreatic necrosis in the larvae of Panulirus ornatus and Penaeus vannamei, and is also associated with Montipora white syndrome in corals. We characterized V. owensii GRA50-12 as a potent pathogen using phenotypic, biochemical, and zebrafish models.
