Lentibacillus salarius is a Gram-positive, spore-forming and moderately halophilic bacterium from the genus of Lentibacillus which has been isolated from saline sediments from the Xinjiang Province. [1] [3] [2]

Lentibacillus salarius grows optimally in environments with moderate salt concentrations, reflecting its adaptation to saline habitats. It has been reported to tolerate sodium chloride levels up to around 20%, which allows it to survive in salt lakes and saline soils. Like other members of the genus Lentibacillus , it plays a role in microbial communities of hypersaline ecosystems, contributing to nutrient cycling under extreme conditions.
