Kushmaro, A and Banin, E and Loya, Y and Stackebrandt, E and Rosenberg, E,, 51, 1383-1388 (2001), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-51-4-1383, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= The aetiological agent of bleaching of the coral Oculina patagonica was characterized as a new Vibrio species on the basis of 16S rDNA sequence, DNA-DNA hybridization data and phenotypic properties, including the cellular fatty acid profile. Based on its 16S rDNA and DNA-DNA hybridization, the new Vibrio species is closely related to Vibrio mediterranei. The name Vibrio shiloi sp. nov. is proposed for the new coral-bleaching species, the type strain being AK1T (= ATCC BAA-91T = DSM 13774T)., language=, type=
