Detailed explanation-1: -They require sodium ions for their growth and metabolism. Thus, based on the NaCl optimal requirement for growth the halophiles are classified in three different categories: slight (1–3%); moderate (3–15%); and extreme (15–30%) [2, 3].
Detailed explanation-2: -The halophiles, named after the Greek word for “salt-loving", are extremophiles that thrive in high salt concentrations. While most halophiles are classified into the domain Archaea, there are also bacterial halophiles and some eukaryotic species, such as the alga Dunaliella salina and fungus Wallemia ichthyophaga.
Detailed explanation-3: -As for eukaryotes, the fungus Wallemia ichthyophaga and the green alga Dunaliella salina are examples of halophiles. Brine shrimp and the larvae o brine flies are also eukaryotic halophiles.
