    Abstract
    Grimontia indica strain AK16<sup>T</sup> sp. nov. is the type strain of G. indica sp. nov. a new species within the genus Grimontia. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from seawater sample collected from southeast coast of Palk Bay, India. G. indica AK16<sup>T</sup> is a Gram-negative, facultative aerobic rod shaped bacterium. There are only two other strains in the genus Grimontia one of which, Grimontia hollisae CIP 101886<sup>T</sup>, is a reported human pathogen isolated from human stool sample while the other, `Grimontia marina IMCC5001<sup>T</sup>`, was isolated from a seawater sample. As compared to the pathogenic strain Grimontia hollisae CIP 101886<sup>T</sup>, the strain AK16<sup>T</sup> lacks some genes for pathogenesis like the accessory colonization factors AcfA and AcfD, which are required for the colonization of the bacterium in the host body. While it carries some pathogenesis genes like OmpU, which are related to pathogenesis of Vibrio strains. This suggests that the life cycle of AK16<sup>T</sup> may include some pathogenic interactions with marine animal(s), or it may be an opportunistic pathogen. Study of the Grimontia genus is important because of the severe pathogenic traits exhibited by a member of the genus with only three species reported in total. The study will provide some vital information which may be useful in future clinical studies on the genus
