Natrinema limicola is an extremely halophilic archaeon in the family Halobacteriaceae, isolated from saline mud and salt lake sediments. It requires high salt concentrations for growth and contributes to the microbial communities of hypersaline environments.
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.
