title: Taxonomy and protein fingerprinting of halophilic Vibrio isolates from bivalves of the Ebre delta.
abstract: A total of 380 isolates of halophilic Vibrio and related bacteria isolated from shellfish bred in the Ebro delta (in northeastern Spain) were studied by biochemical characterization; this allowed the use of numerical taxonomy programs. All but 25 isolates fell into 12 phenotypes. The analysis of whole-cell electrophoretic fingerprints of 100 isolates confirmed the numerical analysis of biochemical and morphological traits.
