One hundred and seven strains of Vibrio and Spirillum were examined for 175 morphological, physiological, biochemical, and nutritional characteristics. The results were analyzed by the method of numerical taxonomy. The deoxyribonucleic acid base composition of the Spirillum strains was also determined. Marked phenetic differences were found between Vibrio and Spirillum, with species of the genus Vibrio demonstrating more versatile biochemical capabilities. The numerical taxonomy and molecular genetic data are in agreement with the recently suggested assignment of selected Spirillum strains to the genera Oceano-spirillum and Aquaspirillum.
