Description and Genome-Based Analysis of <i>Vibrio chaetopteri</i> sp. nov., a New Species of the Mediterranei Clade Isolated from a Marine Polychaete.

ABSTRACT: Two novel strains, CB1-14^T and CB2-10, were isolated from the marine polychaetes Chaetopterus cautus from the Sea of Japan. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA sequences revealed that the two strains belong to the genus Vibrio, sharing 98.96% identity with Vibrio hangzhouensis CN 83^T. MLSA using five protein-coding genes (ftsZ, gyrA, gyrB, mreB, and rpoA) showed that CB1-14^T and CB2-10 are closely related to the members of the Mediterranei clade, namely Vibrio mediterranei CECT 621^T, Vibrio barjaei 3062^T, Vibrio thalassae CECT 8203^T, Vibrio hangzhouensis CGMCC 1.7062^T, Vibrio maritimus CAIM 1455^T, and Vibrio variabilis
