The bacterial strain 42Xb2 ^T was isolated from a female adult krill Nyctiphanes simplex infected with the apostome parasitoid ciliate Pseudocollinia brintoni in January 2007 in the Gulf of California. The strain has the morphological, phenotypic, and molecular characteristics of the bacteria of the family Vibrionaceae. The 16S rRNA gene sequence has a similarity of 97.7% with Enterovibrio pacificus SW014 ^T and 96.1% similarity with Enterovibrio norvegicus LMG 19839 ^T. A phylogenomic and a multilocus sequence analyses placed this strain close to the genera Enterovibrio, Grimontia, and Salinivibrio, but clearly forming a separate branch from these bacterial genera. Genomic analyses presented further support this result. A novel genus Veronia gen. nov. and a species Veronia nyctiphanis sp. nov. is here described with CAIM 600 ^T (= DSM 24592 ^T = CECT 7578 ^T) as the type strain. Morphological, physiological, and genetic evidence presented here support the unification of Enterovibrio pacificus and Veronia nyctiphanis in the new genus Veronia. Enterovibrio pacificus is reclassified as Veronia pacifica. V. pacifica is assigned as the type species of the new genus Veronia.

Genome Sequencing Data The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the genome sequence of Veronia nyctiphanis CAIM 600 ^T is PEIB01 and of Enterovibrio pacificus CAIM 1920 ^T is LYBM01. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of V. nyctiphanis CAIM 600 ^T is JX129353.

细菌菌株 42Xb2  ^T是从2007 年 1 月在加利福尼亚湾感染了类寄生纤毛虫Pseudocollinia brintoni的雌性成年磷虾Nyctiphanes simplex 中分离出来的。该菌株具有弧菌科细菌的形态、表型和分子特征。16S rRNA基因序列具有97.7％具有相似Enterovibrio pacificus SW014  ^Ť，并用96.1％的相似性Enterovibrio家鼠LMG 19839  ^Ť。系统基因组学和多位点序列分析将该菌株置于肠弧菌属、格里蒙氏菌属和Salinivibrio，但显然从这些细菌属中形成了一个单独的分支。基因组分析进一步支持了这一结果。一个新属Veronia gen。十一月 和一种Veronia nyctiphanis sp。十一月 此处使用 CAIM 600  ^T (= DSM 24592  ^T  = CECT 7578  ^T ) 作为类型应变进行描述。这里提供的形态学、生理学和遗传学证据支持太平洋肠弧菌和夜蛾 Veronia在新属Veronia 中的统一。Enterovibrio pacificus被重新分类为Veronia pacifica。五、太平洋被指定为新属Veronia 的模式种。

基因组测序数据Veronia nyctiphanis CAIM 600  ^T的基因组序列的 GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ 登录号是 PEIB01，而太平洋肠弧菌CAIM 1920  ^T的基因组登录号是 LYBM01。V. nyctiphanis CAIM 600  ^T的16S rRNA基因序列为JX129353。
