Extremophiles, able to live in unusual habitats can serve as a potential source of novel microorganisms and their metabolites gain diverse applications and thus these microorganisms are extensively studied. Halophiles are a group of microorganisms that live in saline environments and in many cases require salinity to survive. Hypersaline habitats are tremendous sources of halophilic microorganisms and studies of these microorganisms are of special importance as they are capable of producing compounds of diverse industrial, pharmaceutical and biomedical potentials.
