Abstract
Eleven species of the genera Halobacterium, Halococcus and the recently proposed Haloarcula were tested by the macro-broth dilution method for their sensitivity to 20 antibiotics with different modes of action. The most active were bacitracin, erythromycin, haloquinone, rifampicin and novobiocin. Resistant mutants of H. mediterranei to bacitracin, chloramphenicol and josamycin were obtained with frequencies of spontaneous mutation between 10−4 and 10−7.
