The Vibrionaceae form a family within the Gammaproteobacteria and are the only family of the order Vibrionales .

They are Gram-negative , fermenting , facultative anaerobic bacteria. They are oxidase-positive and have one or more flagella , mostly polar . The bacteria are found in fresh and salt water. Different types, such as B. Vibrio cholerae , are pathogenic. Most of the bacteria capable of bioluminescence belong to this family and live in symbiosis with deep-sea animals. Members of this family can make tetrodotoxin , an alkaloid, and powerful neurotoxin . These bacteria live in symbiosis with fish of the Tetraodontiformes family , such as B. the puffer fish .
