Vibrio fischeri exhibit the growth advantage in stationary-phase phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Vibrio fischeri are bioluminescent marine bacteria that can be isolated from their symbiotic animal partners or from ocean water. A V. fischeri population increases exponentially inside the light organ of the Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes) while the host is quiescent during the day.
