 Red Sea brine pool microbiology

The Red Sea brine pools are unique marine environments characterized by high salinity levels, often significantly higher than that of typical seawater. These brine pools are found at the bottom of the Red Sea, and they offer an extreme habitat that supports specialized microbiological communities. The study of microbiology in these brine pools focuses on the diverse microorganisms that thrive in such extreme conditions, including bacteria, archaea, and various microbial eukaryotes.
