Methods on Detecting the Minimum NaCl Concentration Which Could Maintain the Integrity Cell Morphology from Extremely Halophilic Archaea

Abstract:

Bacteria had to been in a certain degree of osmolality to maintenance intact cell figure. This study carried on the research on lowest concentration of NaCl which to keep complete cells figure of extremely halophilic archaea strain CY1. The research methods were measuring the change of optical density at 600 nm by dealing with different concentration of NaCl. Microscope figures were taken after a simple staining. The lowest concentration of NaCl was 8% ~10%.
