Question

Organisms living in salty areas are called as (A) methanogens (B) halophiles (C) heliophytes (D) thermoacidophiles

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Halophiles are a type of archaebacteria which occur in salt rich substrata (2.5-5.0 M) like salt pans, salt beds and salt marshes, e.g., Halobacterium, Halococcus. They are aerobic chemoheterotrophs. Their cell membranes have red carotenoid pigment for protection against harmful solar radiation.
