Halostella salina is an extremely halophilic archaeon forming irregular cocci in hypersaline environments. It inhabits salt lakes, saline springs, and solar evaporation ponds where salt concentrations approach saturation. This aerobic, chemoheterotrophic archaeon requires extremely high salt concentrations for growth and obtains energy from organic compounds in its brine habitat.
