Best Answer

Halophiles are one of the three main groups of archaea, or archaebacteria, one of the Six Kingdoms of Life. They love salty areas, like the Dead Sea and the Great Salt Lake. They make energy by using the photosynthetic pigment bacteriorhodopsin, which helps them convert sunlight into food/energy, though not in the same way as plants.
