Comments This is an unusual extremely broad salinity range, one of the widest found in Nature,In complex medium in a temperature range of 15 to 45ºC. Optimal growth at 2.5M NaCl "C. salexigens...has an unusual extremely broad salinity range, one of the widest found in Nature, growing in the presence of NaCl concentrations ranging from ca. 0.1 to 4 M in complex medium in a temperature range of 15 to 45°C [primary source], and from 0.5 to 3 M in minimal medium M63, with optimal growth at 1.5 M NaCl and 37°C [18]."
