Vibrio cyclitrophicus strain 10N.222.46.E12

Vibrio cyclitrophicus strain 10N.222.46.E12 is a marine bacterium predominantly found in coastal waters, marine biofilms, and marine sediments. This strain is notable for its genetic complexity, possessing seven replicons, which may contribute to its adaptability in fluctuating marine environments. This bacterium has been identified in association with several hosts, including Haliotis corrugata (the corrugated abalones), Mytilus coruscus (a species of mussel), and Acartia tonsa (a type of copepod). These associations suggest that V. cyclitrophicus may play roles in various ecological interactions, including nutrient cycling and the dynamics of marine food webs. The strain is documented in multiple accessions (NZ_CP170589.1; NZ_CP170591.1; NZ_CP170593.1; NZ_CP170594.1; NZ_CP170595.1; NZ_CP170596.1; NZ_CP170597.1), reflecting its genetic diversity and potential for further study in microbial ecology and marine biology. In summary, Vibrio cyclitrophicus strain 10N.222.46.E12 demonstrates significant ecological versatility within marine environments, hinting at its potential role in interspecies interactions and ecosystem health. Its presence in diverse habitats and associations with various marine organisms underscores the importance of understanding such microbes in coastal ecosystems.
