Old synonym: Vibrio cyclotrophicus Hedlund and Staley 2001.
Gram negative, 0.6 x 1.5-2.5 µm,straight or curved rods, motile by 1-2 polar or
subpolar flagella. No lateral flagella on solid media, no swarming on solid media.
Colonies are small, circular, convex and entire, 4 mm in diameter, brown to cream.
Can grow in nutrient broth with more than 1.75 % NaCl. Temperature range from 4 to
37 °C.
The type strain was isolated from creosote-contaminated marine sediment.
Unknown.
