| vibrio hippocampi sp. nov., a new species isolated from wild seahorses (hippocampus guttulatus). | a gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile and slightly curved rod-shaped bacterium (bflp-4(t)) was isolated from the faeces of wild seahorses (hippocampus guttulatus) captured in northwest spain (toralla, galicia). strain bflp-4(t) grew at 10-35 degrees c and ph 5-9 (optimally at 20 degrees c and ph 7.2) and at salt concentrations in the range 0-7% w/v nacl. the g+c content of the dna was 49.3 mol%. phylogenetic analysis based on the 16s rrna gene sequence showed that strain bflp-4(t) was ... | 2010 | 20402780 |
