Vibrio furnissii is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium.{{cite journal |vauthors=Brenner DJ, Hickman-Brenner FW, Lee JV, etal |title=Vibrio furnissii (formerly aerogenic biogroup of Vibrio fluvialis), a new species isolated from human feces and the environment |journal=Journal of Clinical Microbiology |volume=18 |issue=4 |pages=816–24 |date=October 1983 |doi=10.1128/JCM.18.4.816-824.1983 |pmid=6630464 |pmc=270912 |url=}} Its type strain is ATCC 35016 (= CDC B3215). V. furnissii is aerogenic (gas-producing), and uses L-rhamnose, L-arginine, L-arabinose, maltose, and D-mannitol, but not L-lysine, L-ornithine, or lactose.
