Abstract
- Metagenomics permitted a better knowledge of the microbial diversity of hypersaline habitats.
- Cellular life in hypersaline habitats is dominated by prokaryotes (Archaea and Bacteria).
- Hypersaline environments are not homogeneous with respect to their microbial diversity.
- Metagenomics provides insight into the isolation and characterization of new halophiles.
