Vibrio Harvei

Gram-negative
bioluminescent
marine
rod-shaped
motile (via polar flagella),
facultatively anaerobic
halophilic (extremophile for high salt)
competent for both fermentative and respiratory metabolism.
grow between 4°C and 35°C.
lacks a LuxI/R quorum sensing system(which fischeri uses), instead employs a hybrid quorum-sensing circuit, detecting its autoinducer via a membrane-bound histidine kinase and using a phosphorelay.
