Old synonym:
Vibrio synxanthus Ehrenberg 1840.
Gram-negative rods. Motile. Non-spore-forming.
Fluorescent pigment is produced on King B agar. Haemolysis is not produced on
blood agar. Grows at 4-35 ºC (optimum growth temperature is 28-30 ºC), at pH 6-8
and in 0-3% NaCl (w/v). Shows proteolytic activity on skimmed milk agar at: 25 and 4
ºC. Grows on media: King B agar, Trypticase Soy Broth Agar, Nutrient Agar. Obligate
aerobe.
Isolated from cream in USA.
Undetermined.
