Pseudovibrio is a genus of bacteria in the order Hyphomicrobiales. [2] [3] Bacteria belonging to this genus have been often isolated from marine invertebrates and have been described to be metabolically versatile. [4] 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. [5] Moreover, in their genomes several biosynthetic gene clusters producing potentially novel bioactive compounds were recently identified. [6]
