Halobacterium noricense is a halophilic, rod-shaped microorganism that thrives in environments with salt levels near saturation.^[1] Despite the implication of the name, Halobacterium is actually a genus of archaea, not bacteria.^[1] H. noricense can be isolated from environments with high salinity such as the Dead Sea and the Great Salt Lake in Utah.^[1] Members of the Halobacterium genus are excellent model organisms for DNA replication and transcription due to the stability of their proteins and polymerases when exposed to high temperatures.^[2] To be classified in the genus Halobacterium, a microorganism must exhibit a membrane composition consisting of ether-linked phosphoglycerides and glycolipids.^[2]
