Aeromonas hydrophila subsp. proteolytica (Merkel, Traganza, Mukheriee, Griffin
& Prescott 1964) Schubert 1969.
Gram-negative, straight rods, motile. Presenting lateral flagella on solid media,
swarming on complex media.
Facultatively anaerobic. Can grow in nutrient broth with: 1% NaCl, 6% NaCl, 8% NaCl,
10% NaCl & 12% NaCl. No growt in 0% NaCl. Growth temperature 30, 35, 40 ºC, no
growth at 4 ºC. Grows on solid media as swarming waves. No luminescence.
Isolated from Limnoria tripunctata taken from wood pilings Charleston, South Carolina, U.S.A. The type strain was isolated from the
alimentary canal of  the marine isopod crustacean. Resistant to O/129 vibriostatic agent (10 μg).
Unknown.
