Do amounts of salt affect bacterial growth?In: Microbiology |
[Edit] |
Answer
Yes, each organism can only survive in a certain range of salt concentration. Whereas multicellular organisms have means to control the salt concentration in their body (kidney), single cell organisms like bacteria are constrained to their optimal salt concentration. However, this optimal concentration varies between different kind of bacteria.
