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.
Vibrio ruber es una bacteria gram-negativa y móvil que se distingue por la producción de pigmentos rojos característicos, lo que le confiere colonias de llamativo color. Habita el agua de mar y entornos marinos costeros. Este quimioheterótrofo produce únicos metabolitos secundarios rubrolídeos y descompone materia orgánica en su hábitat marino.
