| Abstract | Penicillium corylophilum can grow in a medium containing NaCl up to 3 mol/L, whereasHalobacterium halobium can grow at 5 mol/L NaCl. At 1 and 3 mol/L NaCl the number of spores decreased with constrictions in the conidiophore and damage in phialides and metulae while there were no morphological changes in bacterial cells grown in the presence of NaCl. Addition of some amino acids or sugar alcohol to the growth medium enhanced the growth of both organisms in the presence of NaCl. Total protein in the fungal cells grown at 1 mol/L NaCl increased by 50% more than in the control cells but it decreased in the bacterial cells with increasing NaCl concentration in the growth medium. Total saccharides and lipids increased in both organisms with increasing NaCl in the growth medium. The endogenous amino acid pool increased in fungal and bacterial cells in the presence of NaCl. Proline was the major amino acid in the fungal cells at 1 mol/L NaCl, representing 41.3% of the total identified amino acids at this concentration, being 8.4 times higher than in the control cells. Glutamate and aspartate showed the highest amount in bacterial cells at 3 mol/L NaCl. Isoleucine showed the highest increase at 3 mol/L NaCl, being 54 times higher than in the control cells. |
