Vibrio jasicida sp. nov., a member of the Harveyi clade, from marine animals (packhorse lobster, abalone, and Atlantic salmon).	Six isolates of a facultatively anaerobic bacterium were recovered in culture from marine invertebrates and vertebrates, including packhorse lobster (Jasus verreauxi), abalone (Haliotis sp.) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) between 1994 and 2002. The bacteria are Gram-negative, rod shaped and motile by means of more than one polar flagellum, oxidase-positive, catalase-positive and able to grow between 0.5-8.0% NaCl (optimum 3.0-6.0%) and at temperatures of 10-37 °C (optimum 25-30 °C). On the ba ...	2011	21984666
taxonomic revision of harveyi clade bacteria (family vibrionaceae) based on analysis of whole genome sequences.	use of inadequate methods for classification of bacteria in the so-called harveyi clade (family vibrionaceae, gammaproteobacteria) has led to incorrect assignment of strains and proliferation of synonymous species. in order to resolve taxonomic ambiguities within the harveyi clade and to test usefulness of whole genome sequence data for classification of vibrionaceae, draft genome sequences of 12 strains were determined and analysed. the sequencing included type strains of seven species: vibrio ...	2013	23710045
characterization of vibrios diversity in the mucus of the polychaete myxicola infundibulum (annellida, polichaeta).	vibrios are among the most abundant culturable microbes in aquatic environments. they can be either free-living in the water column or associated with several marine organisms as mutualists, saprophytes, or parasites. in the present study we analysed vibrios abundance and diversity in the mucus of the polychaete myxicola infundibulum, complementing culture-based with molecular methods. vibrios reached 4.6 × 10(3) cfu ml(-1) thus representing a conspicuous component of the heterotrophic culturabl ...	2014	24194098
genomic evidence that vibrio inhibens is a heterotypic synonym of vibrio jasicida.	vibrio inhibens is a marine bacterium species of the genus vibrio (vibrionaceae, gammaproteobacteria). the species has been shown to be closely related to members of the genus vibrio in the so-called harveyi clade. the clade includes at least 11 closely related species with similar physiological and biochemical properties. due to these similarities, species of the harveyi clade are difficult to characterize taxonomically. previously phenotypic and genotypic properties of the v. inhibens type str ...	2016	27216629
