Salisediminibacterium halotolerans is a gram-positive, alkalitolerant, and halophilic bacterium from the family Bacillaceae and genus of Salisediminibacterium, which was one of three bacterial strains, and the only novel species, isolated from sediments from the Xiarinaoer soda lake in Mongolia in 2012.[3]
Salisediminibacterium halotolerans (strain halo-2T) was one of three bacterial strains extracted from sediment of the Xiarinaoer soda lake located in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The other strains include Halolactibacillus alkaliphilus and Salsuginibacillus halophilus, which are two novel strains of halophilic bacterial species that had already been discovered. At the time the sediment samples were collected from the lake, the sediment was −1 °C, had a pH of 9.91, and the salinity of the overlying water was 84 g l−1.[3]
Strain halo-2T appeared to most closely relate to two unidentified isolates from Soda lakes in Kenya through phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Low levels of 16S rRNA sequence similarity with established species indicated that the strain halo-2T belonged to a novel taxonomic group, Salisedminibacterium halotolerans.[4]
In 2015, a novel strain belonging to the genus Salisediminibacterium was discovered in the Lonar soda lake in India. This strain is called Salisediminibacterium haloalkalitolerans, and is 99.9% related to Salisediminibacterium halotolerans (strain CGMCC).[4]
