Growth on the agar allowed one to examine the specific colonies. Inoculation and growth in the liquid culture were done to examine both strains of Halobacteria in the aqueous solutions. DNA extraction was done to take DNA from the Halobacteria strains and examine their genotypes. The PCR reaction’s purpose was to locate
