Abstract
The taxonomic positions of Vibrio marinus and 11 related natural isola tes were examined. Their phylogenetic positions on the basis of almost complete 16S I-RNA sequences were determined by maximum likelihood, m aximum parsimony and neighbor-joining analyses. V. marinus and the 11 isolates fell into a single cluster that was clearly distinct from oth er genera. There is now strong evidence that V. marinus should be recl assified as Moritella marina gen, nov., comb, nov, (C) 1998 Federation of European Microbiological Societies.
