Effect of external salinity changes on cellular composition of some ions and amino acids in Deleya halophila.
Changes in total cellular composition of some ions and amino acids of the moderate halophile Deleya halophila were studied in response to external salinity changes. Among the 14 amino acids investigated, the cellular glycine and aspartic acid content increased with increasing salinity. D. halophila also accumulated Na+ at the highest external salt concentrations.
