Bdellovibrio  spp. are predatory bacteria with great potential as antimicrobial agents. Studies have shown that members of the genus  Bdellovibrio  exhibit peculiar characteristics that influence their ecological adaptations. In this study, whole genomes of two different  Bdellovibrio  spp. designated SKB1291214 and SSB218315 isolated from soil were sequenced. The core genes shared by all the  Bdellovibrio  spp. considered for the pangenome analysis including the epibiotic  B. exovorus  were 795. The number of unique genes identified in  Bdellovibrio  spp. SKB1291214, SSB218315, W, and  B. exovorus  JJS was 1343, 113, 857, and 1572, respectively. These unique genes encode hydrolytic, chemotaxis, and transporter proteins which might be useful for predation in the  Bdellovibrio  strains. Furthermore, the two  Bdellovibrio  strains exhibited differences based on the % GC content, amino acid identity, and 16S rRNA gene sequence. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of  Bdellovibrio  sp. SKB1291214 shared 99% identity with that of an uncultured  Bdellovibrio  sp. clone 12L 106 (a pairwise distance of 0.008) and 95–97% identity (a pairwise distance of 0.043) with that of other culturable terrestrial  Bdellovibrio  spp., including strain SSB218315. In  Bdellovibrio  sp. SKB1291214, 174 bp sequence was inserted at the host interaction  (hit)  locus region usually attributed to prey attachment, invasion, and development of host independent  Bdellovibrio  phenotypes. Also, a gene equivalent to  Bd0108  in  B. bacteriovorus  HD100 was not conserved in  Bdellovibrio  sp. SKB1291214. The results of this study provided information on the genetic characteristics and diversity of the genus  Bdellovibrio  that can contribute to their successful applications as a biocontrol agent.
