| 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. |
|
| Notable groups of Archaea include thermophiles and hyperthermophiles, halophiles, and methanogens. |
|
| Some bacteria prefer salty environments and are thus called halophiles. |
|
| Media for the enumeration of the total aerobic bacteria were prepared by tryptic soy agar to provide the optimum conditions for the growth of halophiles. |
