 * Spoilers*

The Carar virus didn't originate on this planet at all. It was contracted on some other planet. The Precursors came to this planet and were studying the animals to see if there was any potential immunities with which to develop a cure. However, they thought it was a good idea to steal a Sea Dragon Leviathan egg, and momma came and destroyed the research facility they had build, releasing the virus into the ecosystem, and which point, they then quarantined this planet as well.

If the Carar virus can somehow survive in brine, then yeah, maybe, that's why it is green. Who knows. It should be noted that all the animals in this game bleed yellow instead of red so it could be a mixture of blue brine (IRL color IIRC) and yellow blood, which makes green.

But, no, its not a source of the Carar, because thats not how bacteria works.
