Gram-negative, straight or slightly curved rods, 1.5-2 x 0.5-0.8 μm, motile by a single
polar flagellum. No lateral flagella on solid media, not swarming on complex media.

Facultatively anaerobic. Can grow in nutrient broth with: 1-5% NaCl. No growth in 0%
NaCl, 6% NaCl, 8% NaCl, 10% NaCl & 12% NaCl. Growth temperature 20-30 ºC, no
growth at 4, 35 or 40 ºC. Colonies are low, cream colored and translucent, with entire
margins, non-luminescent and non-hemolytic. No PHB accumulation.

Isolated from diseased and apparently healthy kuruma prawns and from water samples from ponds where prawns are grown.
Susceptible to vibriostatic agent O/129 (10 μg).
Susceptible to vibriostatic agent O/129 (10 μg).
Causes the ‘brown spot disease’ in kuruma prawns (Penaeus japonicus). All reported isolates have the same O antigen. Can be
differentiated serologically from other fish-pathogenic vibrios.
Disease was reproduced in prawns by experimental infection.
