ABSTRACT Vibrios are a group of aquatic bacteria that include diverse pathogens for humans and marine animals. In their natural environment, these bacteria are subject to predation by heterotrophic protozoa, including free‐living amoebae. Previous studies suggested that some amoebae species can prom...
