[1] It is known to habitat marine environments, solar salterns, saline soils, and salted food.
This particular species is anaerobic, rod-shaped and motile, thanks to possessing eight petritichous flagella.
Albeit, salt shock is achieved with a concentration of 2-2.5M, affecting cell division and protein synthesis.
[2] Its reaction to heat shock is also associated with the medium's salt concentration.
[3] This species is also a good exponent of biomineralisation, particularly precipitation of calcium carbonate.
