Halophilic Amylase from a Moderately Halophilic Micrococcus [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1972 A moderately halophilic Micrococcus sp., isolated from unrefined solar salt, produced a considerable amount of extracellular dextrinogenic amylase when cultivated aerobically in media containing 1 to 3 m NaCl. The Micrococcus amylase had maximal activity at

On the osmotic pressure of cells
QRB Discovery, 2022 The chemical potential of water ( $ {\mu}_{{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}} $ ) provides an essential thermodynamic characterization of the environment of living organisms, and it is of equal significance as the temperature. For cells, $ {\mu}_{{\mathrm{H}}
