弧菌相关的细菌包括大部分的 异养细菌的世界海洋，沿海沃茨， 河口 这些生物的系统学是主要的 在微生物水平上理解生物多样性的重要性。 许多系统学的研究已经完成了使用传统的 性状，以及最近的RNA和DNA数据。 本研究旨在 结合表型和基因型属性以定义更多 准确地描述了弧菌科、气单胞菌科和 相关的有机体。 先前在PI实验室进行的研究 专注于收集形态学和RNA数据，以及 对这些信息进行了一些分析。 这一努力 将为数据库添加更多的RNA和DNA数据。 我们的最终 目标是获得一套完整的参考菌株的信息。 弧菌属、气单胞菌属、发光杆菌属、交替单胞菌属（希瓦氏菌属）， 等人

Vibrio related bacteria comprise a significant portion of the heterotrophic bacteria of the world's oceans, costal waters and estuaries. The systematics of these organisms is of major importance in understanding biodiversity at the microbial level. Numerous studies in systematics have been done using traditional traits and, more recently, RNA and DNA data. This study seeks to incorporate phenotypic and genotypic attributes to define more accurately the systematics of the Vibrionaceae, Aeromonadaceae and related organisms. Previous investigations carried out in the laboratory of the PIs focused on collection of morphological and RNA data, as well as developing a number of analyses of this information. This effort will add further RNA and DNA data to the data bank. Our ultimate goal is a complete set of information for reference strains of the genera Vibrio, Aeromonas, Photobacterium, Alteromonas (Shewanella), and others.
