Two novel strains C4III282^T and C4III291 were isolated from seawater collected a site off the Taketomi coral reef. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA sequences revealed that the two strains belong to the genus Vibrio. MLSA using eight protein-coding genes (ftsZ, gapA, gyrB, mreB, pyrH, recA, rpoA, and topA) showed that C4III282^T and C4III291 are closely related to the members of the Ponticus clade, namely Vibrio panuliri JCM 19500^T, Vibrio ponticus DSM 16217^T, and “Vibrio rhodolitus” G98. ANI and in silico DDH values with members of the Ponticus clade were 77.6-78.7% and 22.2-23.1, respectively. The name Vibrio taketomensis sp. nov. is proposed with C4III282^T (CAIM 1928^T = DSM 106943^T = JCM 33434^T) as the type strain.

从竹富珊瑚礁附近采集的海水中分离出两个新菌株C4III282 ^T和C4III291。根据16S rRNA序列的系统发育分析表明，这两个菌株属于弧菌属。使用8个蛋白质编码基因（ftsZ，gapA，gyrB，mreB，pyrH，recA，rpoA和topA）进行的MLSA显示C4III282 ^T和C4III291与Ponticus进化枝的成员紧密相关，即Panbrus Viulio panuliri JCM 19500 ^T，Vibrio ponticus DSM 16217^T和“ Rhodolitus弧菌” G98。庞蒂克斯进化支成员的ANI和计算机模拟DDH值分别为77.6-78.7％和22.2-23.1。名称为弧菌taketomensis sp。十一月 建议使用C4III282 ^T（CAIM 1928 ^T  = DSM 106943 ^T  = JCM 33434 ^T）作为类型应变。
