Six alginolytic, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile marine bacteria were isolated from the gut of abalone Haliotis discus hannai. DNA-DNA hybridization data showed that the six strains constituted a single genospecies. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rDNA sequences indicated that the isolates should be assigned to the genus Vibrio. The phenotypic features of the isolates were closely related to Vibrio fischeri and Vibrio pelagius biovar I, but 13 traits (motility, luminescence, alginase production, lipase production, lysine decarboxylase, indole production, growth in 1 and 6% NaCl and assimilation of five carbon compounds) distinguished these strains from V. fischeri, and 17 traits (motility, growth at 37 degrees C, lipase production, indole production, growth in 1 and 6% NaCl, acid from sucrose and D-sorbitol, and assimilation of nine carbon compounds) distinguished these strains from V. pelagius. The G + C content of the isolates was 41.6-43.1 mol%. According to DNA-DNA hybridization data and 16S rDNA phylogenetic analyses, it was concluded that the six isolates constitute a new species different from any other Vibrio species. The name Vibrio halioticoli sp. nov. (type strain IAM 14596T) is proposed. A set of phenotypic features which enables differentiation of the new species from other species of the Vibrionaceae family is described.
