Draft genome sequence reveals significant coding sequences for aerolysin-like toxins in Vibrio pectenicida from Pycnopodia helianthoides, suggesting pathogenic potential.
Here, we report the genomic sequence of Vibrio pectenicida strain FHCF-3, isolated from the coelomic fluid of a sunflower sea star (Pycnopodia helianthoides) showing signs of wasting disease. The draft genome is 4,368,354 bp with 3,903 coding sequences, including 3 with significant sequence similarity to aerolysin-like toxins.
