- Description

Nunan et al., 2013: Obligate intercellular pathogen of Penaeus vannamei, the Pacific white shrimp, that cannot be cultivated in cell-free media. The geographic range is limited to the western hemisphere. The Gram-negative organism is motile by means of eight flagella located at the basal apex. The bacteria present two morphological variants consisting of a rod-shaped organism (0.25 by 0.9 μm) and a helical form (0.25 by 2 to 3.5 μm). Phylogenetic analysis, inferred from 16S rRNA and gyrase B gene sequences, places this bacterium within the class Alphaproteobacteria.
