Abstract
Hypersaline lakes with salt concentrations exceeding 250 g/l are often characterized by very dense communities of halophilic microorganisms imparting a red coloration to the brines Such red waters can be found in the North Arm of Great Salt Lake Utah in crystallizer ponds of solar salterns for the production of salt from seawater and in many extremely hypersaline alkaline lakes At times even the magnesium chloriderich waters of the Dead Sea have become red as a result of massive development of pigmented saltloving microorganisms
