Aliivibrio fischeri (formerly Vibrio fischeri) is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium found globally in marine environments.[2] This species has bioluminescent properties, and is found predominantly in symbiosis with various marine animals, such as the Hawaiian bobtail squid. It is heterotrophic, oxidase-positive, and motile by means of a single polar flagella.[3] Free-living A. fischeri cells survive on decaying organic matter. The bacterium is a key research organism for examination of microbial bioluminescence, quorum sensing, and bacterial-animal symbiosis.[4] It is named after Bernhard Fischer, a German microbiologist.[5]
Ribosomal RNA comparison led to the reclassification of this species from genus Vibrio to the newly created Aliivibrio in 2007.[6] The change is valid publication, and according to LPSN the correct name.[7] However, the name change is not generally accepted by most researchers, who still publish Vibrio fischeri (see Google Scholar for 2018–2019).
