Abstract
Salinity-induced changes in the protein profiles in Rhizobium sp. exhi bited alterations in the expression of as many as 19 proteins, which e ither showed an enhanced rate of synthesis or a decline in the levels as compared with controls. All these proteins were predominantly of lo w molecular mass (below 40 kDa) except for one (52 kDa). Induction and repression of proteins in salt-grown cells and salt-shocked cells wer e qualitatively similar. However, the difference in the protein profil es was more marked in salt-grown cells as compared with salt-shocked c ells.
