Halococcus
''Halococcus'' is a genus of the Halobacteriaceae. == Description and significance == ''Halococcus'' is a genus of extreme halophilic archaea, meaning that they require high salt levels, sometimes as high as 32% NaCl, for optimal growth. Halophiles are found mainly in inland bodies of water with high salinity, where their pigments (from a protein called rhodopsinprotein) tint the sediment bright colors. Rhodopsinprotein and other proteins serve to protect ''Halococcus'' from the extreme salinities of their environments. Because they can function under such high-salt conditions, ''Halococcus'' and similar halophilic organisms have been utilized economically in the food industry and even in skin-care production.
