Salinicoccus salsiraiae is a halophilic, Gram-positive coccus first isolated from saline soil environments. It thrives in moderately to highly saline habitats including salt flats, saline soils, and brines. This aerobic chemoheterotroph decomposes organic matter under elevated salt conditions that are lethal to most microorganisms.
