Halococcus
''Halococcus'' (common abbreviation: ''Hcc.'') is a genus (biology), genus of the Halococcaceae. Ecology ''Halococcus'' is a genus of extreme halophilic archaea, meaning that they require high salt levels, sometimes as high as 32% NaCl, for optimal growth. Halophiles are found mainly in inland bodies of water with high salinity, where their pigments (from a protein called rhodopsinprotein) tint the sediment bright colors. Rhodopsinprotein and other proteins serve to protect ''Halococcus'' from the extreme salinities of their environments. Because they can function under such high-salt conditions, ''Halococcus'' and similar halophilic organisms have been used in the food industry and even in skin-care products. ''Halococcus'' is found in environments with high salt levels, mainly inland bodies of salt water, but some may be located in highly salted soil or foods. The pigmented proteins in some species cause the reddish tint found in some areas of the Dead Sea and the Great Salt ...

Halococcaceae
''Halococcaceae'' is a family of halophilic and mostly chemoorganotrophic archaea within the order ''Halobacteriales''. The type genus of this family is ''Halococcus.'' Its biochemical characteristics are the same as the order ''Halobacteriales.'' The name ''Halococcaceae'' is derived from the Latin term ''Halococcus,'' referring to the type genus of the family and the suffix "-ceae", an ending used to denote a family. Together, ''Halococcaceae'' refers to a family whose nomenclatural type is the genus ''Halococcus.'' Current Taxonomy and Molecular Signatures As of 2021, ''Halococcaceae'' contains a single validly published genus, ''Halococcus''. This family can be molecularly distinguished from other Halobacteria by the presence of 23 conserved signature proteins (CSPs) and nine conserved signature indels (CSIs) present in the following proteins: DNA gyrase subunit B, chaperone protein DnaK, HAD-superfamily hydrolase, glycosyltransferase, 2-Succinyl-6-hydroxy-2,4-cyclohexadie ...

List Of Archaea Genera
This article lists the genera of the Archaea. The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Phylogeny National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) taxonomy was initially used to decorate the genome tree via tax2tree. The 16S rRNA-based Greengenes taxonomy is used to supplement the taxonomy particularly in regions of the tree with no cultured representatives. List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) is used as the primary taxonomic authority for establishing naming priorities. Taxonomic ranks are normalised using phylorank and the taxonomy manually curated to remove polyphyletic groups. Cladogram was taken from the GTDB release 07-RS207 (8th April 2022). The position of clades with a "question mark" are based on the additional phylogeny of the 16S rRNA-based LTP_12_2021 by The All-Species Living Tree Project. Phylum " Altarcha ...
