Summary
Description Microorganisms from the hypersaline Lake Tyrrell.jpg |
English:
Microscopic image from the hypersaline Lake Tyrrell, Australia (salinity> 20% w/v), in which the eukaryotic chlorophyte,
Dunaliella salina
, can be tentatively identified.
Dunaliella salina
is grown commercially for the carotenoid, β-carotene, which is widely used as a natural food colorant as well as a precursor to vitamin A. Alongside is the haloarchaeon,
Haloquadratum walsbyi
, which has flat square-shaped cells with gas vesicles that allow flotation to the surface, most likely to acquire oxygen.
