Salt-tolerance in mangrove soil bacteria
A total of sixteen bacterial species were isolated from mangrove soils of Karachi, Pakistan. Twelve of the isolates were gram positive while four were gram negative. All sixteen species showed resistance to high concentration of streptomycin, however, resistance to chloramphenicol and tetracycline was variable. The isolates tolerated up to 110‰ salinity and accumulated sodium form the media.
