Halobacillus is a bacterial genus from the family of Bacillaceae. [1] [2] [3] Halobacillus species are gram positive, oxidase positive, catalase negative, rod shaped marine bacteria. [3] S.I. Paul et al. (2021) [3] isolated and characterized two species of Halobacillus ( Halobacillus kuroshimensis and Halobacillus karajensis) from marine sponges (phylum: porifera) of the Saint Martin's Island of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. [3] Single colonies are pin headed (very small) in sized and opaque in color. [3]
