Salinity

halophilic and halotolerant. Salinity range from 0.9 to 32% (w/v) NaCl in rich media, 2.9% to 19% (0.5 M to 3.75M) NaCl in minimal media; halotolerance increased by osmoprotectants; halotolerance decreases at high temperature.

  1. Evidence codes - TAS: Traceable Author Statement (i.e. a direct report exists in the literature); NAS: Non-traceable Author Statement (i.e. not directly observed for the living, isolated sample, but based on a generally accepted property for the species, or anecdotal evidence). These evidence codes are from of the Gene Ontology project [35].
