Abstract excerpt
Energy metabolism and photosynthetic pigment accumulation are affected by salt stress in cyanobacteria leading to cessation of growth. In this study, the effect of salinity on the freshwater cyanobacterium, Fremyella diplosiphon, was investigated and mutagenesis-based efforts were undertaken to enhance salt tolerance. Salinity at a concentration of 10 g/L sodium chloride (NaCl) inhibited growth of wild type F....
