Gram-negative, coccoid rods, motile by means of more than one polar flagellum.
Colonies on Marine agar are nonpigmented, translucent, nonswarming.
Luminescent.Colonies on TCBS agar are round, 2-3 mm and green coloured. Growth
occurs in 0.9-3.5% NaCl (w/v) media, but not at 0.5, 6, 8 or 10% NaCl. Grows at 10-25
ºC, but not at 4, 30 or 37 ºC.
