Draft Genome Sequence of the Fast-Growing Marine Bacterium Vibrio natriegens Strain ATCC 14048

Vibrio natriegens bacteria are Gram-negative aquatic microorganisms that are found primarily in coastal seawater and sedi-ments and are perhaps best known for their high growth rates (generation time of<10 min). In this study, we report the first sequenced genome of this species, that of the type strain Vibrio natriegens ATCC 14048, a salt marsh mud isolate from Sapel
