Abstract

The current study was carried out to investigate the effect of NaCl on dry weight of Oscillatoria willei. In order to analyze the effect of NaCl, Oscillatoria was treated with different concentrations of NaCl viz., 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8M, besides control over 30 days. Results indicated increase in dry weight at lower concentrations of NaCl but salinity adversely affected the dry weight of O. willei, with a significant reduction at higher NaCl concentrations. The present work exhibited that salt stress negatively impacts the dry weight of Oscillatoria willei, may be due dehydration of the cells, reduced metabolic activity, growth inhibition and cell damage caused by high salinity.
