Question
Chapter 20.1, Problem 2MI
Summary Introduction
Halophilic archaea are also termed as haloarchaea, which thrive in a hypersaline environment. To survive in extreme environments like high salt concentrations and extreme temperature and pH, haloarchaea and their enzymes have evolved to act optimally.
