 Halobacteria - EvoWiki
The Halobacteria are a large group of photosynthetic archaeans, within the phylum Euryarchaeota.
Furthermore, because of their adaptation to highly saline environments (in some cases, they are the dominant lifeforms in the area), many of their proteins can only function in highly saline environments.
All halobacteria possess a pigment called "bacteriorhodopsin," which reacts with light to promote a chemical chain reaction to produce ATP.

In the case of the halobacteria living in Owens Lake, the red pigment may protect their delicate cells from the intense desert sunlight.
Unlike the halobacteria, a high osmotic concentration within the cells of Dunaliella is produced by a very high concentration of glycerol molecules instead of salt ions (Borowitzka and Brown, 1974).
he distribution of halobacteria and halophilic algae, such as Dangeardinella and Dunaliella, in highly saline habitats throughout the world is convincing evidence that its dormant cells are dispersed by the wind in the form of dust clouds.

The halobacteria or "salt loving" bacteria are some of the most unusual life forms that have been created by God.
While the evolutionists claim that they are primitive, halobacteria are anything but, and can prove that accidents do not explain their existence.
In fact, the halobacteria require a minimum of a 9% salt concentration, but prefer an optimum concentration of 21 to 27% salt solution.

Halobacteria, a form of extremophile archaeobacteria, he said, are adapted to surviving in saturated salt solutions.
Halobacteria on Mars could live in the concentrated brine, busy metabolizing and reproducing when the brine is in a liquid state.
During periods between the liquid state and when the pool is dry, the halobacteria survives in dormant form.

We found out that halobacteria were ideal object for investigating the role of a bioenergetic component in signal transduction.
I found out that the aerotactic and phototactic reactions in halobacteria are interconnected and described the difference between the specialized phototaxis due to the sensory rhodopsins and photobehavior ultimately connected with the function of bacteriorhodopsin.
The studies in Martinsried concentrated on two important topics: site-specific mutagenesis of the proteins in the photosynthetic reaction centers and consequent electrochemical studies of the chromatophores in Moscow as part of the joint project, and the study of the phototactic behavior in Halobacterium salinarium.

 Halobacterium - MicrobeWiki
Halobacteria are halophilic microorganisms, which means they grow in extremely high salinity environments.
Of the archaea, Halobacteria are viewed as being involved in the most lateral genetics (gene transfer between domains) and a proof that this transfer does take place.
The obstacle Halobacteria would need to overcome is being able to grow at a low temperature during a presumably short time span when a pool of water could be liquid.

Identifying and understanding the regulation of these mechanisms at a genetic and biochemical level is fundamental to understanding the system wide response of an organism to a basic environmental factor.
Halobacteria have the ability to not just persevere but thrive in high light environments.
Another important aspect of this work is in deciphering systems level mathematical models that describe the behavior of the cells in face of untested combinations of genetic and environmental perturbations.
