Abstract
Several representative extremely halophilic archaea (formerly archaeba cteria) were studied with respect to their genetic relatedness by usin g a DNA-rRNA hybridization approach. Our results confirm the phylogene tic relatedness of Halococcus morrhuae and Halococcus saccharolyticus but support their separation as two different taxa. al least al specie s level. In addition, this phylogenetic relatedness was significantly lower than that between species belonging to the genera Haloferax and Haloarcula.
