Research on halophilic microorganisms is important due to their relation to fundamental questions of survival of living organisms in a hostile environment. Here we introduce a novel method to stain halophiles with MitoTracker fluorescent dyes in their growth medium. The method is based on membrane-potential sensitive dyes, which were originally used to label mitochondria in eukaryotic cells. We demonstrate that these fluorescent dyes provide high staining efficiency and are beneficial for multi- ...[more]
