C. Michael Hogan, 2008 Fungal halotolerance Fungi from habitats with high concentration of salt are mostly halotolerant (i.e. they do not require salt for growth) and not halophilic. Source: Internet
Most halophilic and all halotolerant organisms expend energy to exclude salt from their cytoplasm to avoid protein aggregation (' salting out '). Source: Internet
In addition, naturally halotolerant plants or microorganisms could be developed into useful agricultural crops or fermentation organisms. Source: Internet
