Vibrio natriegens
species of bacterium
Vibrio natriegens is a Gram-negative marine bacterium. It was first isolated from salt marsh mud. It is a salt-loving organism (halophile) requiring about 2 % NaCl for growth. The species grows well in the presence of sodium ions, which appear to stimulate growth in Vibrio species, to stabilise the cell membrane, and to affect sodium-dependent transport and mobility. Under optimum conditions, and all nutrients provided, the doubling time of V. natriegens can be less than 10 minutes. V. natriegens can live successfully and rapidly divide in its coastal areas due to its large range of metabolic fuel. Recent research has displayed that Vibrio natriegens has a flexible metabolism, which allows it to consume a large variety of carbon substrates, reduce nitrates, and even fix nitrogen from the atmosphere under nitrogen-limiting and anaerobic conditions. In the laboratory, the growth medium can be easily changed, thus affecting the growth rate of a culture. V. natriegens is commonly found in estuarine mud.
Aquaculture and antibiotic resistance
Many strains of Vibrio, including natriegens, are pathogenic against farmed aquacultures such as the abalone (sea snail, marine gastropod mollusc) and have recently destroyed farmed abalones when aquacultures get infected.
“Vibrio natriegens” enters the record as species of bacterium. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Vibrio, natriegens and species can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Vibrio natriegens” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Vibrio, natriegens and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7924681. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
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.
