Gram-negative rods, 1.5-3 x 0.8-1 µm, motile by one polar flagellum.
Colonies on Marine agar 2216 Difco are round, non-pigmented, opaque,
non-swarming, 0.2-1.0 mm in diameter after 24- 72 hours incubation at 22 °C. Not
luminescent. Strains form green colonies on TCBS agar.
Can grow in nutrient broth with: 1 to 6% NaCl. No gowth in 0% NaCl. Growth
temperature 4 to 30 °C. No growth at 37 °C.

The type strain (4OM4T) was isolated from oysters from the Mediterranean coast of Valencia (Spain). Other strains were isolated from
common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) in Spain.
Resistant to O/129 vibriostatic agent.
common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) in Spain.
Resistant to O/129 vibriostatic agent.
Can cause circular lesions on the tentacles on the mantle and head in octopus. Proved by experimental infection.
