Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Vibrio coralliilyticus SCP4, Vibrio harveyi SCP5, and Vibrio sp. SCP2 were isolated from the coral Pachyseris speciosa in Singapore, adding to reports of Vibrio in tropical corals. Their draft genomes variably encode types II, III, and VI secretion systems, toxR , and vcpA , genes linked to pathogenic potential in Vibrio species.
