Gram-negative, rod-shaped cells, 1.2-2 x 0.5-1 µm. Motile by a polar flagellum.
Colonies on TSA are 3-4 mm in diameter, translucent to opaque, circular and beige in
colour after 48 h at 25 ºC. Brown diffusible pigment is not produced. Growth occurs at
4-37 ºC, but not at 40.5 ºC; optimal growth temperature 25-30 ºC. Can grow in the
presence of 0-3% NaCl, but not at 6% NaCl. Can grow at ph 9.0 but not pH 4.5. Grows
on MacConkey agar.

Isolated from wedge-shells (Donax trunculus) obtained from a retail market in Barcelona (Spain). Resistant to vibriostatic agent
O/129 (150 µg). Resistant to ampicillin (10 µg) (except strain 431E), erythromycin (15 µg) and penicillin G (10 µg).
