Natronorubrum is a genus of extremely haloalkaliphilic archaea in the family Halobacteriaceae, thriving in soda lakes with both high salt and high pH. Members of this genus are pigmented red due to bacterioruberin carotenoids and are found in alkaline hypersaline environments.
Natronorubrum tibetense is a halophilic, alkaliphilic archaeon in the family Natrialbaceae, originally isolated from soda lakes on the Tibetan Plateau. It thrives in highly saline and alkaline environments and produces carotenoid pigments giving colonies a red to orange colouration. Its conservation status is not evaluated.
