The genus Natrarchaeobaculum is classified as a member of the family Natrialbaceae, order Natrialbales, class Halobacteria according to phylogenomic analyses. It includes extremely halophilic heterotrophic natronoarchaea, some of which can grow anaerobically by sulfur respiration utilizing organic acids, H2 and formate as the electron donors. The genus currently includes two species: the facultatively anaerobic type species Natrarchaeobaculum sulfurireducens and the aerobic species Natrarchaeobaculum aegyptiacus. Inhabits hypersaline soda lakes. The DNA G + C content is 62.8-64.1 % (genome sequence). Three letter abbreviation is Nab.
