Answer:

Synthesis Of Osmoprotectants

Step-by-step explanation:

One Mechanism Halophiles use to survive in high concentrations of salt is the Synthesis Of Osmoprotectants, which are also known as compatible solutes. These work by balancing the internal osmotic pressure with the external osmotic pressure, making the two solutions isotonic, or close to it.
