Answer #1

Salinibacter ruber - Dead sea

Halococcus, Halorubrum - saltern crystalliser ponds

Artemia - Great Salt Lake

Chromohalobacter beijerinckii - brine and fermented food

Halophiles are organisms which live under high salt concentration. They are mainly prokaryotic archaebacteria and bacteria. But some are algae and fungus also. They have the ability to accumulate salt inside them against the concentration gradient and therefore can easily grow in salty environment

Please rate high.
