Natrinema versiforme is an extremely halophilic archaeon in the family Halobacteriaceae characterized by its variable cell morphology, which can range from rods to irregular forms under different salinity conditions. It inhabits hypersaline environments such as salt lakes, salt mines, and salt marshes. Like other haloarchaea, it requires high salt concentrations for membrane and protein stability.
