摘要
We investigated the factors that impose an upper limit of salinity tolerance to the unicellular freshwater cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942. Above approx. 0.4 M NaCl, Synechococcus cells cease to proliferate, after having accumulated 0.3 M sucrose. Cells that pre-accumulated sucrose could tolerate up to 0.5 M NaCl, but not 0.6 M NaCl. After exposure to 0.5 M NaCl or higher, the cells were irreversibly modified becoming unable for osmotic volume adjustments.
