VIBRIO AEROGENES
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Vibrio |
| Species: | Vibrio aerogenes |
| Description: | Straight to slightly curved rod. Cells stain Gram-negative and are 0,6-0.8μm wide by 2-3μm long. Swarming does not occur on solid agar media while motility normally occurs by means of two sheathed, polar flagella when grown in liquid media. Colonies produced on agar media are flat, circular, off-white and non-luminescent with an entire margin. The species is a facultative anaerobe capable of both aerobic and anaerobic fermentative growth.Marine Bacterium producing organic acids,H2 and CO2 during fermentation of carbohydrates. |
