Actinopolyspora halophila

Actinopolyspora halophila is a bacterium.[1] It differs from its cogenerate bacteria in the make-up of its cell wall.[2] Like all Actinopolyspora, A. halophila requires saline conditions for survival, however wild types generally require more than 12% salt concentration to grow, and can grow in concentrations of up to 30%.[3]
