Abstract

A subset (n = 20) of 143 putative Vibrio spp. isolated from surface seawater samples collected along a transect from Barbados to Puerto Rico to Bermuda were included in a numerical taxonomy study. Fourteen strains were identified as Vibrio campbellii. It was concluded that V. campbellii occurs in the open ocean with high frequency, and probably represents an autochthonous species in surface waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
