Background Natrialba magadii (strain ATCC 43099 / DSM 3394 / NCIMB 2190 / MS3) is an aerobic, haloalkaliphilic (thriving in high salt concentrations and high pH) extremophile archaeon isolated from Lake Magadi in Kenya. It thrives in alkaline hypersaline conditions (pH 9.5, 3.5 M NaCl) and encodes enzymes that are not only salt tolerant but also often tolerant of high pH, high temperatures, and the presence of solvents.
