Extract

Stichococcus bacillaris has been grown under conditions of varying ionic concentrations. Sodium chloride appears to be the dominant compound in determining growth of this euryhaline alga and from the reaction to increased sodium chloride concentration it is postulated that S. bacillaris is a freshwater organism which can tolerate high salinities. Some morphogenetic effects of high salinity are described.
