Introduction

From the background information on our species, Halomicrobium mukohataei, we know that our organism is not only a halophile, or salt-loving, but also that the organism in fact requires a high salinity environment to survive. This trait is unique and compelling because of the harsh environment and the many pumps and mechanisms that must be present for an living organism to survive. However, our organism is not the only one to have such adaptations. There are a number of halophile species as well as a number of salt-tolerant organisms, including bacteria and yeasts.

Cation Pumps

The following is a list of the cation pumps and cation-influenced structures encoded in our organism's genome:
