umoto, Iwata, Sawabe, Ueno, Ichise, Matsuyama, Okuyama and Kawasaki 1999.
Gram-negative, 0.5–0.9 / 0.7–2.1 µm, rods. Non-sporeforming. No flagella. Numerous
blebs occur on the cell surface.
Can grow in nutrient broth with: 3, 4, 6 & 10% NaCl. No growt in 0% NaCl. Growth
temperature 2-35 ºC, no growth at 40 ºC. Non-pigmented colonies.
Isolated from a drainage pool at a fish processing plant where hydrogen peroxide was used as a bleaching agent.
Susceptible to vibriostatic compound O/129 (10 and 150 µg).
Unknown.
