Physiological Responses to Stress in the Vibrionaceae

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Symbioses and Stress

Part of the book series: Cellular Origin, Life in Extreme Habitats and Astrobiology ((COLE,volume 17))

Abstract

The family Vibrionaceae (Domain Bacteria, Phylum Proteobacteria, Class Gammaproteobacteria) is comprised mostly of motile gram-negative chemoorganotrophs, possessing at least one polar flagellum (Farmer III and Janda, 2005; Thompson and Swings, 2006). Vibrios are facultative anaerobes, having both respiratory and fermentative metabolisms, and the mol% G + C of the DNA is 38–51% (Farmer III and Janda, 2005). Cells are usually 1 μm in width and 2–3 μm in length, and most are oxidase positive. The vast majority of vibrios require Na+ for growth and survival, usually 0.5–3% NaCl for optimum growth. Additionally, most species are susceptible to the vibriostatic agent 0/129 (Thompson and Swings, 2006).
