Comparative genomics reveals modular virulence repertoires and extensive horizontal gene transfer in <i>Vibrio</i> species associated with white syndrome of <i>Porites cylindrica</i>

2026-03-20

Abstract excerpt

Coral white syndrome (WS) is a widespread condition characterized by tissue loss and skeletal exposure, with multiple bacterial pathogens—particularly Vibrio species—implicated in its etiology. To investigate the genomic basis of potential virulence in Vibrio associated with WS of Porites cylindrica , we isolated 57 Vibrio strains from healthy and diseased coral tissues collected from reefs in Guam. Thirteen r...
