β¦ Synopsis
The effects of monovalent and divalent cations on the cell viability of an extremely halophilic bacteria H. mediterrunei were examined. High magnesium concentrations ( 2 72 m) were required for stabilization of H. rnediterranei cells, although calcium ions were more potent than magnesium in preserving viability. On the other hand, H. medirerrunei cells are also able to survive in the presence of monovalent cations, such as ammonium and potassium, at least 14 days. The implications for maintaining stability and neutrality of several cell envelope components by monovalent and divalent cations are discussed.

The potential depended on the concentration of Na und K much less than predicted by the GOLDMAN equation. The de
Li+, C s + , Rb+, and K+ inhibit the clonal growth rate of Hydra littoralis and, depending upon conditions, can be toxic to the animals. These effects are counteracted by increasing the concentration of Na+ in the environment. In contrast to its inhibitory effect, K+, when in the presence of high co
