“…The isolated HJ‐2023 strain was confirmed to be V. campbellii via gene sequence identification, but the same result was not obtained in the bacterial identification based on the biochemical characteristics determined using the API tests, as the information on V. campbellii was not registered in the bacterial identification reading software; therefore, it was likely confirmed as a similar Vibrio species. Because of this diversity in biochemical characteristics, when bacteria are isolated from diseased white‐leg shrimp using TCBS medium, approximately 84.3% of them form green colonies (Muthukrishnan, Defoirdt, Ina‐Salwany, et al., 2019; Muthukrishnan, Defoirdt, Shariff, et al., 2019). V. campbellii also forms green colonies because it lacks a sucrose hydrolase gene, making it difficult to distinguish it from V. parahaemolyticus (Dong, Bi, Wang, et al., 2017; Dong, Wang, Xie, et al., 2017; Dong, Wang, Zou, et al., 2017).…”
