  • Notes:
    • ⏰ According to Cano-Gomez et al. (2011), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Vibrio communis Chimetto et al. 2011. Publication: Cano-Gomez A, Hoj L, Owens L, Andreakis N. Multilocus sequence analysis provides basis for fast and reliable identification of Vibrio harveyi-related species and reveals previous misidentification of important marine pathogens. Syst Appl Microbiol 2011; 34:561-565. 🇦🇺
