Examples of halophile in the following topics:
-
- Halophiles are extremophiles that thrive in environments with very high concentrations of salt.
- Halophiles are extremophiles that thrive in environments with very high concentrations of salt.
- In fact, the very name "halophile" comes from the Greek word for "salt-loving. " Although some halophilic bacteria and eukaryotes exist, the largest classification of halophiles is in the Archaea domain.
- Halophiles prevent this loss of water by increasing the internal osmolarity of the cell.
- Describe the methods employed by halophilic Archaea to prevent water loss
-
- Nonthermophilic Crenarchaeota can be extreme halophiles living in highly salty environments.
- Crenarchaeota can be extreme halophiles, and include organisms living in highly salty environments (for example, halococcus).
- Halococcus is a genus of extremely halophilic archaea , meaning that they require high salt levels, sometimes as high as 32% NaCl, for optimal growth.
- Halophiles are found mainly in inland bodies of water with high salinity, where their pigments (from a protein called rhodopsinprotein) tint the sediment bright colors.
- Because they can function under such high-salt conditions, Halococcus and similar halophilic organisms have been utilized economically in the food industry and even in skin-care production.
-
- One group is exemplified by the Halorubrum pleomorphic virus 1 ("Pleolipoviridae") infecting halophilic archaea and the other one by the Aeropyrum coil-shaped virus.
- Species of the genus Salterprovirus infect halophilic archaea species of the Euryarchaeota.
-
- Chemoautotrophs generally fall into several groups: methanogens, halophiles, sulfur oxidizers and reducers, nitrifiers, anammox bacteria, and thermoacidophiles.
-
- Nonetheless, they are a useful starting point for classification Halophiles live in extremely saline environments such as salt lakes.
-
- One group is exemplified by the Halorubrum pleomorphic virus 1 ("Pleolipoviridae") infecting halophilic archaea and the other one by the Aeropyrum coil-shaped virus ("Spiraviridae") infecting a hyperthermophilic (optimal growth at 90-95°C) host.
-
- Based on their habitat, all Archaeans can be divided into the following groups: methanogens (methane-producing organisms), halophiles (archaeans that live in salty environments), thermophiles (archaeans that live at extremely hot temperatures), and psychrophiles (cold-temperature Archaeans).

- Halophile: an organism requiring at least 0.2M concentrations of salt (NaCl) for growth
