Haloarcula hispanica
Classification
Domain: Archaea Phylum: Euryarchaeota Class: Haloarchaea Order: Halobacteriaies Family: Halobacteriaceae Genus: Haloarcula
Species
Haloarcula hispanica
Description and significance
Haloarcula Hispanica was isolated in 1986 in Spain from solar satern. Haloarcula Hispanica is often grown in lab to be used to study SH1 virus that infects Haloarcula Hispanica. Additionally, many researchers have suggested that H. hispanica be used as a model archaeon for study. This is due to its low restriction activity compared to other members of its family, Halobacteriaceae. Apart from the study of host-virus interactions in saline environments, H. hispanica's metabolic pathways have been studied. H. hispanica has been discovered to possess the ability to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates in nutrient-limiting conditions when carbon is in excess. PHAs are important for storing carbon and energy. Furthermore, studies have been conducted to map out its sulfur metabolic pathway and discern amino acid biosynthesis.

Genome Structure (if the genome exists)
3,890,005 bp consisting of two chromosomes and one megaplasmid. The G-C content of the genome is greater than 62 percent, and nearly 4, 000 genes are protein-coding. In a comparative analysis with another member of its genus, H. marismortui, the two genomes featured 80 percent of proteins with counterparts in the other organism, while approximately 700 proteins were unique to H. hispanica.
Cell structure and metabolism
The distinguishing characteristic of H. hispanica from other members of its genus are its unique polar lipids. Cell growth occurs in triangle or square-shaped sheets of 65 cells.
Ecology and Pathogenesis
The Genius Haloarcula is salt loving and often found in salt lakes,salty soil, and solar satern. the Genius Haloarcula requires at least 1.5 M NaCl for growth, but grow optimally in 2.0 to 4.5 M NaCl The optimal temperature for growth is 40-45 degrees celsius
