Gram negative, slightly curved rods, 0.6-0.8 x 2.0-3.0 µm, motile  by means of at least
one polar  flagellum.
Colonies on Marine agar are pale yellow, smooth, round or slightly irregular in shape,
1.5-2.0 mm in diameter after 3 days, non-bioluminescent. Can grow in nutrient broth
with: 1 to 12% NaCl. No growth in 0% NaCl. Growth occur at  4 - 45 °C,  pH 4.1-8.8
(optimal  25-30 °C, pH 6.9 and 3% NaCl). Facultatively anaerobic.
Isolated from a Yellow Sea tidal flat area of Korea. Susceptible to the vibriostatic agent O/129.
Unknown.
