Halobacteria are photoheterotrophic organisms, meaning that they use light for energy, but can't use carbon dioxide as their sole carbon source. Therefore, they use other organic compounds from the environment (such as carbohydrates, alcohols, or fatty acids) for their carbon requirements.

What kingdom are halobacteria in?
archaebacteriaArcheabacteria.
What are three examples of prokaryotic organisms?
Yeast, Halobacteria and Aeropyrum pernix are three prokaryotic organisms.
What are examples of heterotrophic and autotrophic archaebacteria?
Autotrophic archaebacteria, in the biological classification system, are members of the class halobacteria. Halobacteria live in salt water. Some species of halobacteria are: Halobacterium cutirubrum > Halobacterium salinarumHalobacterium denitrificans > Haloferax denitrificansHalobacterium distributum > Halorubrum distributumHalobacterium halobium > Halobacterium salinarumHeterotrophic archaebacteria are members of the class Methanobacteria. As their name suggests, these species metabolize methane gas to create energy. An example of this species is methanobacterium aarhusense.

What do organisms eat?
depends on the organism. wolves eat meat, cows eat grass, mosquitoes eat blood, plants eat sunshine, CO2 and nutrients.
Are halobacteria eukaryotic?
No they are not eukariyotic.They are prokariyotic organisms.
Halobacteria scientific name?
Halobacteria belong to the phylum Euryarchaeota and the class Halobacteria. Some common species within this group include Haloferax volcanii and Halobacterium salinarum.
Do halobacteria reproduce asexually?
yes hey do :P
What kingdom are halobacteria in?
archaebacteriaArcheabacteria.
How does halobacteria protect itself from destruction by UV light?
halobacteria produces salt and chloride layer on top which shortens the UV wavelength protecting itself from UV light. that's why they grow fantastically on Mars.
What is an archaerhodopsin?
An archaerodopsin is any of a group of proteins, isolated from halobacteria, which are light-driven proton pumps.
What are three examples of prokaryotic organisms?
Yeast, Halobacteria and Aeropyrum pernix are three prokaryotic organisms.
Which photosynthetic pigment is found in bacteria but is lacking in all other photosynthetic organisms?
Another important photosynthetic bacterial group-Halobacteria thrive in very salty environments, such as the Dead Sea and the Great Salt Lake. Halobacteria are unique in that they perform photosynthesis without chlorophyll. Instead, their photosynthetic pigments are bacteriorhodopsin and halorhodopsin. These pigments are similar to sensory rhodopsin, the pigment used by humans and other animals for vision. Bacteriorhodopsin and halorhodopsin are embedded in the cell membranes of halobacteria and each pigment consists of retinal, a vitamin-A derivative, bound to a protein. Irradiation of these pigments causes a structural change in their retinal. This is referred to as photoisomerization. Retinal photoisomerization leads to the synthesis of ATP. Halobacteria have two additional rhodopsins, sensory rhodopsin-I and sensory rhodopsin-II. These compounds regulate phototaxis, the directional movement in response to light.
Is euryanheota toxic?
The Euryarchaeota include the methanogens, which produce methane and are often found in intestines, the halobacteria, which survive extreme concentrations of salt, and some extremely thermophilic aerobes and anaerobes.This is what I got from wiki.com
