Abstract

New advances in the understanding of haloarchaea physiology, metabolism, biochemistry, and
molecular biology show that these kinds of microorganisms produce several compounds in response
to the extreme conditions of their ecosystems. Thus, the complete metabolic and genetic machineries
are fully adapted to nutrient starvation, high sun radiation, and high ionic strength. Due to these
adaptations, some of the primary and secondary metabolites produced by haloarchaea are of high
interest in terms of potential biotechnological uses. The principal goal of the chapter is to present a
review about the diversity of haloarchaea and their potential applications in biotechnology.
