Endozoicomonas gorgoniicola is a Gram-negative and facultative anaerobic bacterium from the genus of Endozoicomonas. Individual cells are motile and rod-shaped.[2][3] Bacteria in this genus are symbionts of coral.[2] E. gorgoniicola live specifically with soft coral (family Gorgoniidae) and were originally isolated from a species of Plexaura, an octocoral,[1] off the coast of Bimini in the Bahamas. The presence of this bacterium in a coral microbiome is associated with coral health.[4][5]
