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 es una bacteria marina gram-negativa en forma de varilla curvada capaz de producir gas durante la fermentación. Habita aguas costeras cálidas y entornos estuarinos. Este quimioheterótrofo facultativamente anaerobio degrada materia orgánica y participa en el ciclo del carbono marino en zonas costeras poco profundas.
Vibrio cholerae es una bacteria acuática gram-negativa, con forma de coma y altamente móvil, agente causal de la pandemia de cólera en humanos. Habita estuarios costeros, deltas fluviales y entornos marinos cálidos, frecuentemente asociada al plancton, especialmente copépodos. Esta bacteria facultativamente anaerobia se propaga a través de agua y alimentos contaminados, causando diarrea acuosa severa con gran impacto en salud pública.
