''Shewanella haliotis'', a species of rod-shaped, Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacteria, was first isolated from the gut microflora of abalones (large edible sea snails) collected from the ocean near Yeosu, South Korea, by Kim ''et al.'' in 2007. Further studies showed the cells to be catalase- and oxidase-positive.〔NEW TAXA - Proteobacteria: Duwoon Kim, Keun Sik Baik, Mi Sun Kim, Bok-Mi Jung, Tai-Sun Shin, Gyu-Hwa Chung, Moon Soo Rhee, and Chi Nam Seong Shewanella haliotis sp. nov., isolated from the gut microflora of abalone, Haliotis discus hannai Int J Syst Evol Microbiol December 2007 57:2926-2931; doi:10.1099/ijs.0.65257-0〕 The species epithet ''haliotis'' is a reference to the genus name of abalones, ''Haliotis''. The genus ''Shewanella'' had been previously named in 1985 by MacDonell and Colwell in honor of Scottish microbiologist James M. Shewan, for his work in fisheries microbiology.〔Etymologia: Shewanella haliotis. Emerg Infect Dis (). 2013 Jun (cited ). http://dx.doi.org/10.3201/eid1906.ET1906〕 ==Characteristics== A sample colony of ''S. haliotis'' was isolated from an abalone. It was pink-orange in colour, grew at 42°C in the pH range 5–11 (with optimum pH being 7). It was found to be positive for malate as a carbon source, and negative for mannose and glucose use. The strain was resistant to both penicillin and vancomycin. 〔 Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2009 Dec;59(Pt 12):3111-5. doi: 10.1099/ijs.0.010918-0. Epub 2009 Jul 30.
