Halophilic bacteria are commonly found in natural environments containing significant concentration of NaCl such as inland salt lakes and evaporated sea-shore pools, as well as environments such as curing brines, salted food products and saline soils.

In this study the diversity of halophilic bacteria in foreshore soils of D ...[more]
