Draft Genome Sequence of a New Vibrio Strain with the Potential To Produce Bacteriocin-Like Inhibitory Substances, Isolated from the Gut Microflora of Scallop (Argopecten purpuratus)

Abstract

ABSTRACT A new Vibrio strain, V7A, was isolated from the intestinal tract of the Peruvian scallop ( Argopecten purpuratus ). Strain V7A clusters within the Mediterranei clade of the genus Vibrio and has the potential to produce bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS). Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Vibrio mediterranei strain V7A.
