Description
Leihaothabam Jeeny and co-authors survey, in a 2026 study, biofilm-forming Vibrio relatives living on a Qingdao beach across the four seasons. These marine bacteria cling to surfaces in slimy films that help them survive shifting coasts. Samples came from sand, rocks, algae, and glass plates left in the water.
Culture work recovered 176 isolates falling mainly into two established family branches plus a separate Photobacterium line. Spring and summer isolates generally built stronger films than autumn and winter ones. Algae and rocks hosted steadier film formers than shifting sand or glass. One species turned up in every season and on every surface, marking it as a generalist, while film strength varied strain by strain across the family tree.
