The three strains (PP-203T, PP-200 and PP-204) were
Gram-stain-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive motile
rods. They were fermentative in OF and ZOF (Lemos et al.,
1985) media with glucose, susceptible to vibriostatic agents
and grew in thiosulfate-citrate-bile-sucrose TCBS medium
(Oxoid), forming green colonies.
