In taxonomy, Methanosalsum is a genus of microbes within the family Methanosarcinaceae.See the NCBI [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Info&id=196136 webpage on Methanosalsum]. Data extracted from the {{cite web | url=http://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/taxonomy/ | title=NCBI taxonomy resources | publisher=National Center for Biotechnology Information | access-date=2007-03-19}} This genus contains two species.
Methanosalsum zhilinae was isolated from the saline and alkaline sediments of Wadi Natrun in Egypt and from Lake Magadi. It is moderately halophilic.{{cite book|editor1=Koki Horikoshi|editor2=Garabed Antranikian|editor3=Alan T. Bull|editor4=Frank T. Robb|editor5=Karl O.
