Photobacterium ganghwense is a Gram-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive, motile bacterium of the genus Photobacterium . [1]

Photobacterium ganghwense is found in marine environments. [1] S. I. Paul et al. (2021) isolated, characterized, and identified Photobacterium ganghwense from marine sponges in the Saint Martin's Island area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. [1]
