Halomonas salaria Kim et al. 2007 Salinicola salarius is a Gram-negative, moderately halophilic, piezophilic bacterium that requires pressures of 102 MPa to grow.
[1] The species was first isolated from a salt water sample from Anmyeondo, Korea and was formally described in 2007.
S salarius cells are aerobic, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rods (0.8–0.9x1.3–1.7 μm) that form yellow, smooth, translucent, circular colonies with entire edges.
Paul et al. (2021)[2] isolated and identified salt tolerant Salinicola salarius from marine sponges (Niphates erecta, Hemimycale columella) of the Saint Martin's Island Area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh.
Colony, morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics of Salinicola salarius are shown in the Table below.
