Draft Genome Sequences of Vibrio alginolyticus Strains V1 and V2, Opportunistic Marine Pathogens

We announce the draft genome sequences of Vibrio alginolyticus strains V1 and V2, isolated from juvenile Sparus aurata and Dentex dentex, respectively, during outbreaks of vibriosis. The genome sequences are 5,257,950 bp with a G+C content of 44.5% for V. alginolyticus V1 and 5,068,299 bp with a G+C content of 44.8% for strain V2. These genomes provide further insights into the putative virulence factors, prophage carriage, and evolution of this opportunistic marine pathogen.

portant opportunistic pathogen for marine organisms (1). This bacterium is associated with epidemic vibriosis, which results in high mortality for cultured marine animals, including fish (2), shellfish (3) and shrimp (4). In addition, V. alginolyticus can be pathogenic in humans and can lead to otitis and wound infections after contact with V. alginolyticus-containing seawater (5). We report the draft genome sequences of V. alginolyticus strains V1 and V2, which were isolated from farmed juvenile Sparus aurata and Dentex dentex, respectively, during two separate vibriosis incidences in Crete, Greece.
V. alginolyticus strains V1 and V2 were grown in Luria broth (Mo Bio, 12106-05) supplemented with NaCl 1.7% overnight at 22°C with agitation. Genomic DNA was extracted using the QIAamp DNA minikit (Qiagen) according to manufacturer's protocol. A sequencing library was prepared using an Illumina HiSeq platform (BGI, China) with pair-end read sizes of 100 bp. A total of 9,374,944 pairedend reads for strain V1 and 10,880,660 paired-end reads for strain V2, were used for de novo assembly in Geneious version 7.1.7 (http://www.geneious.com). Short and low-coverage contigs were filtered out, resulting in a set of 80 with an average coverage of 129ϫ (N 50 , 265 kbp), and 33 contigs with a coverage of 137ϫ (N 50 , 340.4 kbp) for V. alginolyticus strains V1 and V2, respectively. Annotation was performed using the NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Automatic Annotation Pipeline (PGAAP) (6). Additionally, the genomes were analyzed on the Rapid Annotation using Subsystems Technology (RAST) server (7). Genome comparison was achieved using Mauve version 2.4.0 (8). Acquired antibiotic resistance genes were identified using ResFinder version 2.1 (9), virulence factors by virulencefinder version 1.2 (10), and prophages by PHAST (11).
The final assembly for V. alginolyticus strain V1 had a total length of 5,255,839 bp and a GϩC content of 44.5%. Genome annotation resulted in 4,614 coding sequences (CDSs), 67 tRNAs, 59 pseudogenes, and 5 rRNAs. V. alginolyticus strain V2 had a total length of 5,068,299 bp and a GϩC content of 44.8%. Genome annotation resulted in 4,448 CDSs, 77 tRNAs, 42 pseudogenes, and 4 rRNAs. Prophage screening for V. alginolyticus strain V1 displayed four phage-related sequences of 9.3, 14, 16.5, and 34.9 kb. Similarly, V. alginolyticus strain V2 had four phage-related sequences of 8.6, 11.5, 20.7, and 30 kb. V. alginolyticus strain V1 possesses two unique regions associated to drug resistance and transport of iron. For both strains, putative virulence factors were identified with functions such as adhesion and destruction of tissues (collagenases, arylsulfatases, proteases, and hemolysin), ABC-type transport systems (spermidine, putrescine, iron), and toxins (RTX, YafQ), which may facilitate specific pathogenicities of V. alginolyticus in different environments. No antibiotics resistant genes were detected.
Thus, these genome sequences can facilitate future comprehensive comparison and phylogenetic analyses aiming toward more efficient control of this opportunistic pathogen.
