Despite the broad diversity of Vibrionaceae, they display a surprising number of conserved features, most striking of which may be the ubiquitous presence of two chromosomes. Based on complete genome sequences and the findings generated therefrom, we discuss the origin, evolution and stability of this unusual chromosomal arrangement as well as its possible benefits.
