“Generally, halophile microrganisms grow optimally at high salt concentrations but are unable to grow in salt-free media.”

“The most likely organism type to survive in a brine or evaporite on earth is a halophile.”

“The halophile Halomonas TD01 and its derivatives have been successfully developed as a low-cost platform for the unsterile and continuous production of chemicals.”

“Studying extremophiles such as halophiles on Earth may provide insights helpful in our search for life elsewhere in the universe.”

“The secret to growing the slow-growing halophiles is to keep the nutrient concentration low enough to curb the growth of competing organisms.”

“The population of viable halophiles is hypothesized to decrease as resources are depleted over time.”
