VIBRIO SUPERSTES
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Vibrio |
| Species: | Vibrio superstes |
| Description: | Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile and non-flagellated. Cells in ZoBell 2216E broth are rod-shaped with rounded ends (0.6–0.8 x 1.2–1.3μm). No endospores or capsules are formed. Flagellation is not observed when the organism is cultivated on solid and/or in liquid media. Colonies on ZoBell 2216E agar are beige,circular, smooth and convex with entire edges. Sodium ions are essential for growth. Mesophilic and neutrophilic chemo-organotroph. |
