Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox

"Halorubrum salsolis" is an undescribed species of halobacteria which is known to live in the Great Salt Lake in the United States.[1]

The microbe was named by two children who took part in a naming contest held by the discoverers of the organism in 2006; the children independently suggested salsolis as the species name for the microbe.[2]

This halophilic extremophile lives in water 10 times saltier than the ocean.[1] It contains carotenoids that make it resistant to ultraviolet rays.[1]
