Two Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, alkaliphilic bacteria (strains MEB087T and MEB142) were isolated from sediment and water samples, respectively, collected from the alkaline Lonar Lake in Maharashtra, India. Strains MEB087T and MEB142 shared 99.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and were 85 % related on the basis of DNA-DNA hybridization.

Two pinkish-red, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile aerobic bacterial strains (MCC P1(T) and MCC P2), capable of growing at low temperatures (15 °C), were isolated from water of a saline lake located in the western Himalayas of India. The strains were capable of growth in the presence of 0-2.0% NaCl and at pH 6.
