Salinicoccus sesuvii is a halophilic, Gram-positive coccoid bacterium first isolated from the roots of the halophytic plant Sesuvium. It inhabits salt marsh environments and saline soils associated with salt-tolerant coastal vegetation. This aerobic chemoheterotroph is adapted to grow in high-salt conditions typical of salt marsh ecosystems.
