Habitat & Geographic Range
Native to Asia, inhabiting ecosystems characteristic of the region.
Found in Taiwan.
Inhabits tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests and deserts and xeric shrublands within the Afrotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Widely distributed across Africa (10 countries), Asia (4 countries), Europe (6 countries), North America (Mexico), Oceania and the Pacific (Fiji), and South America (6 countries).
Vibrio aerogenes is a Gram-negative, curved rod-shaped marine bacterium capable of producing gas during fermentation. It inhabits warm coastal seawater and estuarine environments. This facultatively anaerobic chemoheterotroph degrades organic matter and participates in marine carbon cycling in shallow coastal zones.
Vibrio cholerae is a Gram-negative, comma-shaped, highly motile aquatic bacterium and the causative agent of pandemic cholera disease in humans. It inhabits coastal estuaries, river deltas, and warm marine environments, often associated with plankton, particularly copepods. This facultatively anaerobic bacterium spreads through contaminated water and food, causing severe watery diarrhea with major public health impact.
