In taxonomy, Natronobacterium is a genus of the Natrialbaceae.[1] A member of the domain Archaea, it is both an extreme halophile and alkaliphile, thriving at an optimum saline concentration of 20% and optimum pH of 10.
Taxonomy
[edit]As of 2022, there are 2 species described in this genus.[2]
- Proposed species
- Natronobacterium chahanensis and Natronobacterium innemongoliae are proposed names for strains isolated from soda lakes in China. As of 2022, the descriptions from 1989 (N. chahanensis)[3] and 1997 (N. innemongoliae)[4] are not validly published.
- Species formerly placed in this taxon.
