Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Organism grows in sea at high saline condition?
A
Acidophiles
B
Neutrophiles
C
Halophiles
D
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.
