The Vibrionaceae are a family of Pseudomonadota given their own order, Vibrionales. Inhabitants of fresh or salt water, several species are pathogenic, including the type species Vibrio cholerae, which is the agent responsible for cholera. Most bioluminescent bacteria belong to this family, and are typically found as symbionts of deep-sea animals.

Hajime Toyofuku, in Encyclopedia of Food Safety (Second Edition), 2024. Plesiomonas spp. The genus Plesiomonas belongs to the Vibrionaceae family and consists of a single species, P. shigelloides. It is a natural inhabitant of both freshwater and marine waters and is commonly isolated from seafood and aquatic environment (FAO, 2014).

Kalina et al. (1984) isolated 24 strains of an oxidase-positive fermentative organism that had some properties of Aeromonas and some of Vibrio. The strains came from feces of healthy humans (12 strains), river water (6), and sewage (6). Kalina et al. (1984) did a numerical taxonomic analysis and defined them as “group II.” By DNA-DNA hybridization,...
The genus Beneckea was proposed as a new genus in the seventh edition of Bergey’s Manual of Determinative Bacteriology (Campbell, 1957). It was originally classified in the Family Achromobacteriaceae (Table 2) (Breed et al., 1957). Beneckea included six species: B. labra (the type species) B. ureasophora, B. chitinovora, B. hyperoptica, B. indolthe...
The genus Enhydrobacter was included in the family Vibrionaceae by Staley et al. (1987) and contains a single species, E. aerosaccus. This organism is quite different from all other species in the family because it contains intracellular gas vacuoles (Fig. 4). Van Ert and Staley (1971) isolated gas-vacuolated organisms from the oxygen-depleted ther...
Vreeland et al. (1980) isolated nine strains of an unusual bacterium from solar condensers at the Antilles International Salt Company facility on Bonaire, Neatherlands Antilles (Vreeland et al., 1980). They did a number of phenotypic tests and compared their strains to other salt-requiring bacteria. Based on differences among their strains and othe...
reference is not an exact match MacDonnell and Colwell (1985) studied the structure of 5S rRNA of many species of Vibrionaceae and other organisms and used cluster analysis to group species with similar rRNA sequences. Their data indicated that some of the species were more closely related to each other than to other organisms. Based on this criter...
Lucibacterium was proposed by Hendrie et al. (1970) and was included as “Genus V” of the family Vibrionaceae in the eight edition of Bergey’s Manual of Determinative Bacteriology (Buchanan and Gibbons, 1974). Lucibacterium contained a single species, Lucibacterium harveyi (Vibrio harveyi), and can be considered an attempt to subdivide the biolumine...
Oceanomonas was proposed by Miyamoto et al. (1961) and classified as a new genus in the family Vibrionaceae. The type species for Oceanomonas was designated as O. enteritis (= Vibrio parahaemolyticus) and it also included Oceanomonas alginolytica (Vibrio alginolyticus). The main purpose of this proposal was to separate the halophilic species of Vib...
In much of the older literature, bacteria that digest agar or alginic acid received special attention, and genera were set up to include all strains that digested one of these polysaccharides. The seventh edition of Bergey’s Manual of Determinative Bacteriology (see Table 2) recognized the genera Agarbacterium, Alginobacter, and Alginomonas.Strains...
vibrio, (genus Vibrio ), any of a group of comma-shaped bacteria in the family Vibrionaceae. Vibrios are aquatic microorganisms, some species of which cause serious diseases in humans and other animals. Vibrios are microbiologically characterized as gram-negative, highly motile, facultative anaerobes (not requiring oxygen), with one to three ...

Oct 11, 2014 · The family Vibrionaceae is moderately related to the family Enterobacteriaceae (Fig. 36.1 ). Shewanellaceae, Pseudoalteromonadaceae, Aeromonadaceae, Pasteurellaceae, and Succinivibrionaceae appear as sister clades of these two families, while clades of Alteromonadacea and Idiomarinaceae are branching slightly deeper.
Sep 30, 2022 · Abstract. The Vibrionaceae encompasses a cosmopolitan group that is mostly aquatic and possesses tremendous metabolic and genetic diversity. Given the importance of this taxon, it deserves continued and deeper research in a multitude of areas. This review outlines emerging topics of interest within the Vibrionaceae.
