Pseudovibrio

In taxonomy, Pseudovibrio is a genus of the Rhodobacteraceae.[1][2] Bacteria belonging to this genus have been often isolated from marine invertebrates and have been described to be metabolically versatile.[3] Recent comparative genomic analyses revealed that these organisms have the genomic potential to produce a great array of systems to interact with their hosts, including type III, IV, VI secretion systems and different type of toxin-like proteins.[4] Moreover, in their genomes several biosynthetic gene clusters producing potentially novel bioactive compounds were recently identified.[5]
