Draft genome sequence of <i>Vibrio pectenicida</i> strain FHCF-3, a causative agent of sea star wasting disease in the sunflower sea star ( <i>Pycnopodia helianthoides</i> ), reveals the genetic potential to produce aerolysin-like toxins
Here, we report the genomic sequence of <i>Vibrio pectenicida</i> strain FHCF-3, isolated from the coelomic fluid of a sunflower sea star (<i>Pycnopodia helianthoides</i>) showing signs of wasting disease. The draft genome is 4,368,354 bp with 3,903 coding sequences, including 3 with significant sequence similarity to aerolysin-like toxins.
