Abstract
A drastic change in tile enter membrane structure of a salt-sensitive soil bacterium, S34, related to the genus Dcinococcus was induced by 0 .2 to 0.4% (wt/vol) NaCl. The change was relieved by G mM CaCl2 and in duced by 1 mM EGTA. The results indicate the strong dependence of the organism on calcium.
