Abstract
Vibrio variabilis strain T01 was isolated from the coastal waters in Hulu Selangor, Malaysia and its genome sequenced. This curved gram-negative bacterium shows cell-to-cell communication properties. The characteristics of the sequenced genome and its annotation processes are described here. The finished assembled whole genome of T01T exhibits genome size of 4,529,728 bp in 83 contigs with 46.22% G+C content, 4053 protein coding genes and 94 RNA genes. The whole genome analysis revealed the presence of quorum sensing signalling molecule synthase gene (luxM) which is crucial to understand the quorum sensing dependent phenotypes in this isolate.
