Vibrio fischeri is a gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium found globally in the marine environments. It has bioluminescent properties, and is found predominantly in symbiosis with various marine animals, such as the bobtail squid. It is heterotrophic and moves by means of flagella. Free living V. fischeri survive on decaying organic matter (see saprotroph). The bacterium is a key research organism for examination of microbial bioluminescence, quorum sensing, and bacterial-animal symbiosis.
The scientific name "fischeri" likely refers to the person it was named after, such as a scientist or researcher. In taxonomy, species names often honor individuals who have contributed significantly to the field.
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Somateria fischeri.
