Planococcus rifietoensis is a motile, Gram-positive coccus first isolated from the Rifleto salt mine in Italy. It is halotolerant, capable of growing in moderately saline conditions and inhabits salt-influenced terrestrial environments. This aerobic chemoheterotroph breaks down organic compounds in its saline soil habitats.
