for food sources take a look at page 4 on the link. it goes into all that. they are not ture vibrionaceae, it goes into that too. they were just originally classifed as so. these are part of the reefs. they were always known just never looked into. there are many thousands of classiffed bacterias that are placed in a genus because of known similarities, but have yet to be studied with advances in tech. i am sure in the future there will be many more bacterias that can do things we never thought they could do and placed into new classifications or subgroups.

if you get a chance to talk with Dr. Timothy A. Hovanec see what he says about that link i gave. the work was done from notable sources. the other thing is he just might already know about this. the works above are 10 years old. or waiting for more studies.
