Gram-negative, slightly curved cells, 1 x 3 µm. Motile.
Colonies on TSA are smooth, beige, low convex, translucent to opaque, not swarming,
4 mm in diameter after 48 hours incubation at 28 ºC. Strains form yellow and/or green,
translucent colonies on TCBS agar. Can grow in nutrient broth with: 1% to 8% NaCl; no
growth in 0% or 10% NaCl. Facultatively anaerobic.

Previous group A9 strains were found to be ubiquitous in the marine environment, associated with aquatic animals (Nodipecten
nodosus, Salmo salar, Crassostrea gigas).
The type strain , LMG 21557T (formerly group A9 member), was isolated from the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei in Ecuador.
Susceptible to O/129 vibriostatic agent.

Susceptible to O/129 vibriostatic agent.
Associated with both diseased and healthy aquatic animals (healthy and diseased bivalve larvae Nodipecten nodosus, Atlantic

Positive results for indole production, oxidase, catalase, beta-galactosidase, nitrate
reduction, acid production from D-glucose and D-mannitol.
Negative results for H2S, urease, lysine decarboxylase, ornithine decarboxylase,
arginine dihydrolase, gelatinase, acid production from: D-sorbitol, inositol, L-rhamnose and arabinose.
Variable results for acid production from: sucrose, melibiose and amygdalin.
