## TL;DR

This paper reports the full genome of Vibrio sp. 16, revealing two circular chromosomes and a unique 46-kb plasmid with genes possibly related to phage infection.

## Contribution

The study provides the complete genome sequence of Vibrio sp. 16 and identifies a novel plasmid with toxin/antitoxin systems.

## Key findings

- The Vibrio sp. 16 genome is 4.6-Mb and contains 4,270 genes.
- A 46-kb plasmid (pVDT1) contains parAB/repB partition genes and three toxin/antitoxin systems.
- The genome structure includes two circular chromosomes and a plasmid.

## Abstract

The entire 4.6-Mb genome of Vibrio sp. 16, encoding 4,270 genes, best matches with Vibrio rotiferianus. A 46-kb plasmid (pVDT1), alongside two circular chromosomes, showcases parAB/repB partition genes and three toxin/antitoxin systems potentially linked to phage infection.
