They are capable of living in environments with up to 30% salt concentration, making them the most salt-tolerant organisms known.
Halobacterium
Halobacterium is a genus of extremely halophilic archaea, a group of microorganisms that thrive in extremely salty environments, such as salt lakes and salt mines. Halobacterium species are able to survive and grow in environments with extremely high salt concentrations, often exceeding 30% sodium chloride (common table salt), which is much higher than the average salinity of seawater. Halobacterium is also known for producing the pink pigment bacteriorhodopsin, which is used as a model for understanding the mechanism of vision in the human eye.
