Vibrio (family Vibrionaceae) A genus of bacteria in which the cells are straight or curved rods, and typically have 1 or more flagella at 1 end. They are chemo-organotrophic, and can grow in the presence or absence of air. They are found primarily in aquatic environments and in association with aquatic animals (e.g. copepods). The genus includes some important pathogens of humans (e.g. the causal agent of cholera), fish, and shellfish.
