Physiological Responses to Stress in the Vibrionaceae

摘要: The family Vibrionaceae (Domain Bacteria, Phylum Proteobacteria, Class Gammaproteobacteria) is comprised mostly of motile gram-negative chemoorganotrophs, possessing at least one polar flagellum (Farmer III and Janda, 2005; Thompson Swings, 2006). Vibrios are facultative anaerobes, having both respiratory fermentative metabolisms, the mol% G + C DNA 38–51% 2005). Cells usually 1 μm in width 2–3 length, most oxidase positive. vast majority vibrios require Na+ for growth survival, 0.5–3% NaCl optimum growth. Additionally, species susceptible to vibriostatic agent 0/129 (Thompson
