Vibrio bacteria are Gram-negative with straight or curved rods. These bacteria are motile and have one polar flagellum that has a sheath around it. They occur in both marine and fresh water habitats. There are different factors to include when trying to grow this bacteria. In order for the different species of the Vibrio genus to grow, they need to be in salt or sea-water based medium for optimal growth and can grow in temperatures varying from 10C to 37C. Vibrio bacteria are facultative anaerobes
