VIBRIO FURNISSII
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Vibrio |
| Species: | Vibrio furnissii |
| Description: | V. furnissii is a gram-negative,straight to slightly curved rod that is motile by means of polar flagella.It is an NaCl-requiring,oxidase-positive,nitrate-positive organism that ferments D-glucose and other carbohydrates with the production of acid and gas. |
