Dunaliella salina is a type of green algae. It has a versatile range of habitats, including oceans, salt mashes, slat dishes and brine lakes. It flourishes typically in bodies of water that have a minimum 10% or higher salt content.

They generally consume a species of green algae called Dunaliella.

The green unicellular flagellate Dunaliella salina Teodoresco is the richest natural source of the carotenoid β-carotene. The human body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A (retinol). We need vitamin A for healthy skin and mucus membranes, our immune system, and good eye health and vision. Beta-carotene in itself is not an essential nutrient, but vitamin A is.

Because the salt content would dehydrate fish and higher animals. The lake has some microorganisms that can tolerate the salinity when it is diluted by rainwater. These include the algae Dunaliella and bacteria that feed on it.
