Haloferax mucosum was isolated from Hamelin Pool, Shark Bay, Australia. When grown in the lab, they form large (3–5 mm diameter), pink, mucoid, domed colonies [1].
Hamelin pool is also where the oldest living organisms--stromatolites--can be found.
H. mucosum has been sequenced and the genetic material reduced to 29 contigs comprised of 3371699 base pairs [3]. H. mucosum contigs
