“…For isolation of halophilic microorganisms, the samples were serially diluted (10 -1 -10 -7 ) in 0.1 M sterile saline solution; after that, 0.1 ml of each dilution was spread on Molten haloid agar (MH) containing (g/L) :yeast extract (10), proteose peptone (5), glucose (1), NaCl (100), MgCl2.6H2O (7), MgSO4.7H2O (9.6), CaCl2.2H2O (0.36), KCl (2), NaHCO3 (0.06), NaBr (0,026) (Difco, Himedia and lio) (Goyal et al, 2005;Chakraborty et al, 2009). All the plates were incubated at 35°C for 7-10 days.…”
