Hi Ken,Eli;
Is this the one I have in my aquarium?
Ken
I've recently updated my code to make it easier to compare data from different sequencing runs. I just double checked to confirm and the good news or bad news is that no, the Vibrio in your tank is not the one associated with SCTLD.
I'll expand briefly here in hopes this will provide a useful example of Vibrio diversity. Your first sample had 3 types of Vibrio (none of which are identified to the species level, all are Vibrio sp). We were interested in one of these (lets call it sv441, for "sequence variant 441") because it had shown up in very few tanks at that point, and one of them had a suffered a major coral dieoff.
Since that time, I've subsequently found this same Vibrio (sv441) in a few other tanks at comparable levels with yours. Including a couple of my display tanks which have healthy Acros currently and at the time of sampling.
So good news is that I see no evidence in your tank of the SCTLD-associated Vibrio (sv250)...
