Organism grows in sea at high saline condition?
|
Acidophiles
|
|
Neutrophiles
|
|
Halophiles
|
|
All of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Halophiles are organisms represented by archaea, bacteria, and eukarya for which the main characteristic is their salinity requirement, halophilic “salt-loving”. Halophilic microorganisms constitute the natural microbial communities of hypersaline ecosystems, which are widely distributed around the world [1].
Detailed explanation-2: -Halophiles are basically salt-loving organisms that inhabit hypersaline environments. Halophilic bacteria can be classified according to their salt requirement and growth pattern. Slight halophiles show optimum growth at 2–5% NaCl, moderate halophiles at 5–20% NaCl, and extreme halophiles show 20–30% NaCl respectively.
