Pseudovibrio Explained

In taxonomy, Pseudovibrio is a genus of the Hyphomicrobiales.^{[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]
