Gram-negative, motile rods.
Colonies are round with smooth margins, translucent, non-swarming and 1.0-1.5
mm after 24 h of incubation. Grows on TCBS medium and MA. No growth in 8%, 10%
& 12% NaCl broth. Optimal NaCl concentration for growth is 1-3%. Growth occurs at
4-30 ºC, but not at 35 ºC. Facultative anaerobe. Not luminescent.
Isolated from cultured Manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum.  Sensitive to the vibriostatic agent O/129 (150 µg per disc) and resistant
to ampicillin (10 µg per disc).
Unknown.
