VIBRIO SHILONII
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Vibrio |
| Species: | Vibrio shilonii |
| Description: | Cells are Gram-negative,non-spore-forming rods (2.4-1.6μm) that are motile by a single, polar, sheathed Øagellum when grown on solid or liquid medium. Colonies are pale yellow on Marine agar after 48 h incubation at 30°C, have slightly serrated edges and do not luminesce. When grown on 0.4 % agar, the cells swarm. Oxidase- and catalase-positive. |
