Psychrobacter halotolerans sp. nov., a halotolerant plant growth-promoting bacterium that enhances lettuce tolerance to salt stress

A polyphasic taxonomic approach was used to characterize strain B38T, isolated from the phyllosphere of Salicornia hispanica. The strain is an aerobic, Gram-negative, halotolerant coccus–rod-shaped bacterium exhibiting optimal growth at 28 °C, pH 6–9, and up to 12% (w/v) NaCl. The genome of strain B38T is 3.2 Mbp with...
