Gram negative, rod-shaped cells, with rounded ends, 0.5-1.0 x 1.2-2.0 μm. Non-
motile, non-flagellated. No endospores or capsules are formed.
Can grow in nutrient broth with 1% & 6% NaCl. No growth in 0% or 1% NaCl. Growth
occur at 4 to 30 °C. No growth at 37 °C.
Colonies on agar (ZoBell 2216E) are smooth, beige, convex . Colonies are green on  
TCBS agar (selective media : thiosulfate-citrate-bile salts-sucrose agar).
Facultatively anaerobic, mesophilic, neutrophilic, chemo-organotroph. No
luminescence. No growth factors requirement.
Isolated from the gut  of the Californian red  abalone (Haliotis rufescens).
Susceptible to vibriostatic agent O/157.
Unknown.
