Gram-negative straight or curved rods, motile by polar flagella,
facultative anaerobes, ferment D-glucose, reduce nitrate to nitrite,
oxidase test is positive, primarily aquatic, 11 species are apparently
pathogenic for humans causing diarrhea or extraintestinal infections
and several species cause diseases of other vertebrates and
invertebrates.Type species: Vibrio cholerae Pacini 1854

isolated from the marine environment & specialized light organs of
marine fish. Type species:
