Gram negative coccoid rods, motile by means of more than one polar flagellum.
Colonies on Marine agar are non-pigmented, translucent, non-swarming.
Luminescent.Colonies on TCBS agar are round, 2–3 mm and green coloured.
Growth occurs in 0.9–3.5% NaCl (w/v) media, but not at 0.5, 6, 8 or 10% NaCl. Grows
at 10–25 °C, but not at 4, 30 or 37 °C.
