Abstract
Vibrios have sustained various types of ocean ecosystems, being key players in marine mineral cycles and essential partners in specific groups of marine life. Observed genome plasticity and metabolic versatility are some of the unique biological features of vibrios, and these traits could contribute in expanding their ecological niche in marine environments. Vibrios are now recognized as ecophysiologically essential microbial species for our planet. At the time to “Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs), their genome plasticity and metabolic versatility have also been studied with the aim of solving global issues such as energy production and plastic pollution by creating new microbial biocatalysts. Here, we introduce recent progress on the application of vibrios aiming towards green transformation (GX).
