title: Whole-genome Sequencing ofVibrio sinaloensisT47, a Tropical Marine Isolate with Quorum Sensing Properties.
abstract: A large number ofVibriosp. thrive in the marine environment and they are notable to cause food borne infection associated with undercooked seafood. In this study, we report the whole genome sequence ofVibrio sinaloensisT47 which was isolated from coastal marine water in Morib Beach, Hulu Selangor. The genome is made up of approximately 4.59 Mbp with 80 contigs and 46% G+C content. From the annotated genome, genes associated with quorum sensing (QS) were identified. This research provides a genetic basis for better understanding of QS pathway which contributes to the physiological traits of strain T47 to thrive in the marine environment.
