Description and Significance

Grows in high salt concentrated water, Uses ATP synthesis from a sunlight driven photoreceptor protein, Important for assisting with development of optogenetics, Salt tolerant

Genome Structure

In the genome: Two chromosomes and one plasmid, Circular shape, Proteins functioning in high saline/low temperature environments, Lives in hostile environments with immense solar exposure and hypersaline (concentrated seawater)

Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle

On the surface: AR3 (Archaerhodopsin) retrieves energy from sun, Growth stems from high ion concentration of Mg2+, Create salt-tolerant bacteria, Lives in a 10x higher sodium concentrated environment, pH of 6.0 (acidic)

Ecology and Pathogenesis

Located on the surface of the Dead Sea and other high salt concentration bodies of water, Recombination has genetic information exchanged, mesophilic temperature ranges (BacDive. “Halorubrum Sodomense RD 26 Is a Mesophilic Archaeon of the Family Halorubraceae.” BacDive, https://bacdive.dsmz.de/strain/5939.), Ranks as a biosafety risk group level 1 (Admin. “Legislative Texts and Technical Rules - TRBA 466 Classification of Prokaryotes (Bacteria and Archaea) into Risk Groups.” BAuA, Dec. 2010, https://www.baua.de/EN/Service/Legislative-texts-and-technical-rules/Rules/TRBA/TRBA-466.html.)
