Abstract

This study aims to assess the effect of NaCl on the RNA and DNA content of Oscillatoria willei. Therefore to know the impact of NaCl, Oscillatoria willei was treated with different concentrations of NaCl viz., 0.2, 0.4, 06 and 0.8M besides control over 10, 20 and 30 days. The results revealed decrease in RNA contents and DNA contents with increased NaCl concentrations for all the cultures. It was speculated that the reduced RNA and DNA contents under NaCl stress may be due to interference of high NaCl concentrations with the activity of the enzymes, leading to reduced transcription and replication.
