摘要：Although an extreme environment, the hypersaline ecosystems are rich in microbial diversity forbiotechnological applications. The aerobic, gram-negative, pleomorphic rods and cocci, chemoorganotrophic archaeabelonging to the family Halobacteriaceae within the Phylum Euryarchaeota have been extensively studied in the lastfew decades. They have provided new insights for survival under high salinity and/or alkalinity. They occur in bothmarine as well as inland saline regions mainly in solar salterns. The soda lakes are intermittent saline lakes that containsodium carbonate / bicarbonate (soda) alongwith sodium chloride that are found in desert regions of the world forexample, Lake Magadii (Kenya), Wadi Natrun lakes (Egypt), Sambhar Salt Lake (India), etc. Several halobacterialstrains were isolated from the hypersaline brines collected from Sambhar Lake, Rajasthan. Three of the isolates wereselected based on differences in colony/cultural characteristics and identified phylogenetically based on 16S rRNAsequence homology studies. Two isolates were identified as strains identical to Natronobacterium sp. and one asNatrialba sp.
