Abstract:Five rhizosphere soil samples from the dominant xerophytic plants, and nearby root-free soil samples were obtained from a series of hypersaline soils (5.0–10.7% NaCl) from sites near Alicante in Spain. Physico-chemical analyses were made, and the bacterial flora estimated using three different plating media. Counts from rhizosphere soil were always significantly higher than those from root-free soils. A total of 211 strains isolated were purified and identified to genus level; 12 could not be classified. The range of salt concentration allowing growth was determined for each isolate, but this did not correlate with the salt content of the soil habitat. Most isolates appeared to be typical moderate halophiles (with optimum growth between 5 and 15% salts), but about half of them grew on normal media with only 0.9% naCl, a notable difference from moderately halophilic aquatic bacteria. Extreme halophiles were rare but this may have been due to an insufficient incubation period.
