Interpretive Summary: This is the first published report on the full DNA sequence for Vibrio tubiashii, a bacterium that causes high mortalities in oyster and clam hatcheries. The DNA contains over 5.5 million base pairs. This sequence information will allow the identification of genes responsible for bacterial invasiveness. The complete sequence is available under GenBank accession numbers CP009354 to CP009359.

Technical Abstract: Vibrio tubiashii is a larval shellfish pathogen. Here we report the first closed genome sequence for this species (American Type Culture Collection type strain 19109), which has two chromosomes (3,294,490 and 1,766,582 bp), two megaplasmids (251,408 and 122,808 bp) and two plasmids (57,076 and 47,973 bp).
