Summary

Seven strains were isolated from deep-sea atlantic seawater (4,000 m). Seventeen reference strains (14 Vibrio and 3 Aeromonas) coming from CIP and NCMB collections were added. 215 biochemical and nutritional features were determinated for each isolate and similarity coefficients were obtained by computer analysis. The dendrogram was obtained by moderate linkage.

The seven marine wild strains are biotypes of one species of Vibrio. V. marinus and V. noctiluca are close to these strains; they have also been isolated from seawater. The numerical range of organic compounds utilisable as sole sources of carbon and energy by the “seawater group” of these bacteria is smaller than that of the pathogenic group of strains. Specific conditions of temperature and salinity are required by the marine bacteria.

V. anguillarum and V. piscium seem to be the same species; also V. proteus and V. metschnikovii are grouped relatively together.

Résumé

Sept souches ont été isolées d'eau de mer (Atlantique Nord) par 400 m de fond. 17 souches de référence (14 Vibrio et 3 Aeromonas) provenant des collections CIP et NCMB ont été également étudiées. 215 caractères biochimiques et nutritionnels sont définis pour chaque souche et les coefficients de similitude sont calculés sur ordinateur. Le dendrogramme représente l'assemblage des souches par liaisons pondérées.

Les sept souches marines sauvages sont des biotypes d'une même espèce de Vibrio. Ces souches sont très semblables à V. marinus et V. noctiluca également isolées de l'eau de mer. Ces 9 germes forment un groupe dont le spectre nutritionnel est beaucoup plus étroit que celui des vibrions pathogènes et de plus, nécessitent une température inférieure à 20° C et une salinité comprise entre 1% et 7% de NaCl. V. anguillarum et V. piscium semblent appartenir à une même espèce; V. proteus et V. metschnikovii sont également très proches l'un de l'autre.
