Curr Microbiol. 2020 Oct;77(10):2665-2673. doi: 10.1007/s00284-020-02047-7. Epub 2020 May 26.

Abstract

Strain CGJ02-2 was isolated from the coral reefs in South China sea and deposited in South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Active compounds including indole, ρ-hydroxybenzaldehyde were isolated from this strain. To explore the biosynthetic way of these compounds and search gene clusters, the complete genome of this strain was sequenced by Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) technology. It was de novo assembled to two circular chromosomes of 3,400,283 bp with GC% 44.77 and 1,845,572 bp with GC% 44.59 respectively and classified as Vibrio alginolyticus. In silico phenotype features of Vibrio alginolyticus CGJ02-2 were also analyzed. The biosynthetic pathway of ρ-hydroxybenzaldehyde and indole in this strain were postulated. Gene clusters of four secondary metabolites including bacteriocin, ectoine, siderophore, arylpolyene were identified. This study provides helpful information for further utilizing Vibrio alginolyticus CGJ02-2 as a source of valuable bioactive compounds.
