Actinopolyspora halophila is a bacterium. It differs from its cogenerate bacteria in the make-up of its cell wall. Like all Actinopolyspora, A. halophila requires saline conditions for survival, however wild types generally require more than 12% salt concentration to grow, and can grow in concentrations of up to 30%.
