​Title:  Antibacterial Activity of Novel Characterized Bacteriocins from Vibrio moabi sp. nov. a Novel Bacterial Species Isolated form Dead Sea Shorelines

The draft genome of V. moabii strain T42
comprises 4,874,525 base pairs (bp) and possesses a G+C content of 45.8% and N50 value of 206271bp. It contains 66 RNA coding genes and is predicted to have a total of 4618 protein-coding genes.  The genome sequence revealed a number of short peptides, that have the potential of being classified as bacteriocins with antimicrobial activity. The identified peptides have been synthesized using solid phase peptide synthesis on Gyros PurePep Chorus synthesizer. Synthesized peptides were tested against indicator bacteria to asses their antimicrobial activity.​
