Salinicola halophilus is a gram negative, oxidase and catalase positive, motile, salt tolerant marine bacteria.[1][2] S.I. Paul et al. (2021)[2] isolated, characterized and identified Salinicola halophilus from marine sponges (Plakortis dariae) of the Saint Martin's Island area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh.
