Description of Vibrio caribbeanicus PJ 47

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies are translucent, convex, smooth, and cream-colored after incubation for 3 days on MA at 20℃. Positive for arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatin hydrolysis, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for nitrates reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, esculin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase in API 20NE. D- Glucose, N -acetyl-glucosamine and malic acid are utilized as a sole carbon source; but not L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain PJ47 (= HNIBRBA406) was isolated from seawater collected off Jaeun-do (34°55 ʹ 8.59 ʺ N, 126°03 ʹ 37.26 ʺ E), Shinan , Jeollanam-do, Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain PJ47 is OL742675 .
