Synonyms

Bacillus agaradhaerens[1]

Salipaludibacillus agaradhaerens is a facultative anaerobe bacterium.[3] It is a gram positive, alkaliphilic and alkalitolerant, aerobic endospore-forming bacteria.

In 2019, it was found in a hyperalkaline spring in Zambales (Philippines) a bacterial consortium of a strain of Bacillus agaradhaerens with Bacillus pseudofirmus that can biodegrade LDPE plastic.[4]
