Abstract: 

O.ce.a.ni.vir'ga. L. n. oceanus, the ocean; L. fem. n. virga, a slender branch, a rod; N.L. fem. n. Oceanivirga, rod-shaped bacterium from sea water (ocean) animals.

Fusobacteria / Fusobacteriia / Fusobacteriales / Leptotrichiaceae / Oceanivirga

Rods. Nonspore-forming. Nonmotile. Gram-stain-negative. Facultative or aerotolerant anaerobe. Acid is produced from glucose, fructose, and maltose; indole-, oxidase-, and catalase-negative. Fastidious. Slow growth occurs after 4–14 days at 15–30°C. Growth occurs at 37°C with many passages. Moderately halophilic (1–4% NaCl [w/v]). Requires blood or serum for growth. Tiny, dry, butyraceous, and slightly opaque colonies, faint hemolysis on horse and sheep blood agars. Capable of building l-forms. Flocculent growth without homogenous turbidity in liquid media.

DNA G + C content (mol%): 25.4 (derived from genomic data [dfgd]).

Type species: Oceanivirga salmonicida Eisenberg, Kämpfer, Ewers, Semmler, Glaeser, Collins, Ruttledge and Palmer 2016, 2435^VP.
