Abstract
A halophilic coccus, Micrococcus halodenitrificans n. sp., isolated from meat curing brines is described. This organism grows optimally in media containing between 4.4 and 8.8% sodium chloride as determined by viable counts and manometric methods. The viable count decreases in media containing 2.2% or less sodium chloride. As salt concentrations increase above 8.8%, the length of the lag phase increases and the rate of growth decreases. The organism exhibits a specific sodium chloride requirement for growth. However, it continues to respire in the presence of sodium bromide.
