Abstract
Most strains of Vibrio splendidus biogroup 1, V. tubiashii, V. orientalis, V. mytili and V. mediterranei show contradictory responses to the ADH (arginine dihydrolase) test when performed on Moeller's and Thornley's media, being positive only by the second method. We concluded that the cause of these discrepancies relays on the presence of glucose on the former medium: the carbohydrate causes catabolite repression of the inducible ADH system of V. mediterranei; the immediate cause of inhibition in the other four species remains unclear.
