Vibrio azureus

Vibrio azureus is a gram negative, oxidase and catalase positive marine bacterium.[1] [2] It is commonly found in marine environments and was isolated from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. Colonies are medium-sized, round and whitish; individual bacteria have a curved rod shape and are motile.[3] It has been observed to emit a blue light using an additional blue-fluorescent protein.[2]
