Abstract: The purpose of this study was to identify the presence of Vibrio species in the water samples collected from different locations of Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh. About 30 water samples were collected from different locations. Vibrio species were identified by using TCBS agar medium. Sucrose included as a fermentable carbohydrate, with the help pH indictor (Bromothymol blue and Thymol blue indicators) allows in distinguishing bacteria with yellow and green colour colonies on plates. Out of 30 samples, 22 samples showing positive results for Vibrio species. Identification of Vibrio species in different types of aquatic habitats (Sea water, River water, tap water, pond water and Ground water) was done.
