Gram-negative, straight, coccoids / rods 0.5-2.0 x 0.3-1.0 µm. Motile by a polar
flagellum.
flagellum.
Colonies on TSA are 3–4 mm in diameter, opaque, circular and beige in colour after
48 hours at 25 ºC. No brown diffusible pigment is produced. Grow aerobically and
anaerobically. Growth occurs at 4–40.5 ºC (variable), optimum 30-37 ºC. Can grow in
nutrient broth with: 0 and 3% NaCl, weakly at 6% NaCl, but not at 7% NaCl. Can grow
at pH 9.0, but not at pH 4.5.
Grows on MacConkey agar and m-Aeromonas-selective agar base Havelaar.

Isolated from bivalve molluscs: cockles (Cardium sp.) and razor shells (Ensis sp.), respectively, from retail markets in Barcelona
(Spain).
Resistant to vibriostatic agent O/129 (150 µg), amoxycillin + clavulanic acid (30 µg), ampicillin (10 µg), erythromycin (15 µg) and
penicillin G (10 µg).
