Source-derived summary

Vibrio diabolicus is a polysaccharide-secreting, gram-negative bacterium from the genus Vibrio. This species was first isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent polychaete annelid, Alvinella pompejana. V. diabolicus has since been isolated from several species of shellfish. It is facultatively anaerobic, heterotrophic, and mesophilic.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Vibrio diabolicus” as species of bacterium. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2009, 2012—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Vibrio, diabolicus and species can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as species of bacterium. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16993405. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2009 and 2012.

Critical limits

Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
