Pontibacillus sp. ALD_SL1 and Psychroflexus sp. ALD_RP9, two novel moderately halophilic bacteria isolated from sediment and water from the Aldabra Atoll, Seychelles.

Pontibacillus sp. ALD_SL1 and Psychroflexus sp. ALD_RP9 are two novel bacterial isolates from mangrove sediment and a moderately hypersaline pool on the Aldabra Atoll, Seychelles. The isolates represent two novel species were characterised physiologically and genomically. Pontibacillus sp. ALD_SL1 i...
