VIBRIO CORALLIILYTICUS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Vibrio |
| Species: | Vibrio coralliilyticus |
| Description: | Cells are Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rods(1.2–1.5 x 0.8μm) that are motile by a single polar,sheathed flagellum when grown on solid or liquid medium. Colonies are cream-coloured on marine agar and yellow onTCBS agar after 48 h incubation at 30°C, have smooth edges and do not luminesce. |

| Source: | isolated from diseased P. damicornis in the Red Sea and from larvae of oysters in the Atlantic Ocean. |
| Pathogenicity: | All six strains are pathogenic to the coral P. damicornis. |
