Natrinema (common abbreviation Nnm.) is a genus of archaeans in the family Natrialbaceae.

Taxonomy As of 2022, there are 18 species validly published in the genus Natrinema.

Natrinema is related to the genus Haloterrigena, established in 1999, resulting in confusion about taxon limits and several species apparently being assigned to the wrong genus. Based on phylogenomic analysis, eight species from Haloterrigena as well as Halopiger salifodinae were transferred to Natrinema in 2022.

Phylogeny The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).

16S rRNA based LTP_07_2026 53 marker proteins based GTDB 11-RS232
