Vibrio mimicus is a Gram-negative, curved rod closely related to Vibrio cholerae but biochemically distinct. It inhabits coastal seawater, estuaries, and shellfish in warm tropical and subtropical marine environments. This facultatively anaerobic bacterium can cause gastrointestinal illness in humans who consume contaminated raw seafood.

Vibrio ruber is a Gram-negative, motile bacterium distinguished by its production of distinctive red pigments, giving it striking colored colonies. It inhabits seawater and marine coastal environments. This chemoheterotroph produces unique rubrolide secondary metabolites and decomposes organic matter in its marine habitat.
