Halobiforma haloterrestris

Halobiforma haloterrestris is a red-pigmented, aerobic, extremely halophilic member of the Archaea, showing rod, coccus and slightly pleomorphic morphology. It is the type species of its genus. It is neutrophilic, motile, with type strain 135(T) (= DSM 13078(T) = JCM 11627(T)).[1]
