Complete genome sequence of Vibrio fischeri strain H905, a planktonic isolate among squid symbiotic congeners.

Here we describe the genome sequence of Vibrio ( Aliivibrio ) fischeri H905, a non-symbiotic isolate from Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. Despite its close phylogenetic relationship to squid symbiont strains, H905 is not adept at colonization. Its genome serves as a valuable comparator, illustrating the complex evolutionary dynamics within V. fischeri clades.
