The Halomonadaceae are a family of Proteobacteria. It was discovered by a NASA funded team that a particular strain the Halomonadaceae family, called GFAJ-1, could be found at the bottom of Mono Lake near California Yosemite National Park. This strain of Halomonadaceae can grow on either phosphorus or arsenic.
