	It was originally classified in the genus Halobateria, but due to its unique structure and low sodium chloride requirement (as compared to other halobacteria), it was eventually placed in in the Haloferax genus. There are two separate sequencing projects associated with this species. They are "in progress" by San Diego State University and TIGR [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=genomeprj&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=Overview&list_uids=12524].

Haloferax volcanii is one of only two archaeal species in which a natural process of genetic exchange has been observed [http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/genetics/people/allers/research.php]. Shown below is a diagram detailing the formation of a cytoplasmic bridge between archaea, the sharing of genetic information, and the separation of the two daughter cells.
