Halobacillus karajensis is a species of bacteria.[1][2] It is halophilic, Gram-positive, spore-forming, strictly aerobic and rod-shaped. Its type strain is MA-2T (=DSM 14948T =LMG 21515T). Halobacillus karajensis is commonly found in marine environment.[2] S.I. Paul et al. (2021)[2] isolated and characterized Halobacillus karajensis from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh.[2]
