Salt-induced Contraction of Bacterial Cell Walls
Intact Bacillus megaterium cells were found to contract as much as 26% in terms of dextran-impermeable volume when transferred from water to unbuffered, non-plasmolyzing NaCl solutions. This shrinkage appeared to be primarily due to electrostatic wall contraction rather than to any osmotic response...
