Gram-negative, motile rods or coccobacilli, 1.0-1.5 x 0.4-0.7 μm.
Chemo-organotrophic and facultatively anaerobic. Grows on seawater-based media
such as MA, on which some strains produce a black / deep-brown, slightly-diffusible
pigment. Colonies are round, with entire margins and a bright surface. Grows on TSA
supplemented with 1% NaCl. Does not swarm or luminesce. Growth on TCBS agar is
scarce and slow, producing green (non-sucrose-fermenting) colonies.
Growth is observed at 15–28 ºC but not at 4 or 37 ºC. Requires NaCl for growth. Media
containing 0.9–6.0% total salinity sustain good growth; no growth is observed at 0.4
or 7% or more salinity.

Isolated from the head kidney of Sparus aurata cultured on the Spanish Mediterranean coast.
