Abstract excerpt
A novel moderately halophilic bacterium, strain G-19.1(T), has been isolated from a phenol enrichment of samples collected in hypersaline habitats of southern Spain. This enrichment culture was a part of a screening programme to isolate halophilic bacteria able to degrade various aromatic compounds. Strain G-19.1(T) has been characterized as a potential phenol-degrader over a wide range of saline conditions....
