A marine bacterium strain No. 11-15 which produces antitumor polysaccharides was examined taxonomically.
The bacterium was a GRAM negative, asporogenous rod, 0.5×1-3.5 microns in size, motile with a single polar flagellum and grew well in sea water media. The catalase and oxidase tests were positive. Acid was formed from glucose, but no gas was produced.
The data obtained suggest that the bacterium belongs to the genus Vibrio.
