Flavobacterium marinum

Ecology

The genus Flavobacterium is found in a variety of environments, including soil, fresh and saline acquatic systems, and arctic. The microbe Flavobacterium marinum was first isolated in a saltwater sample from the Indian Ocean (49°39′18′′ E 37°47′22′′ S), collected at a depth of 800m.
