Abstract excerpt
A NaCl(r) mutant of the diazotrophic cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis has been isolated by NTG mutagenesis and selection for NaCl resistance. The NaCl(r) strain has been characterized with respect to its mechanism of NaCl tolerance and regulation of Na(+) influx. NaCl(r) strain exhibits low Na(+) influx, accumulated high level of glycine betaine as a compatible solute, and persistent synthesis of SSPs at a...
