Abstract
The microflora and benthic microbial mats of the salt works of Tarquinia (Italy) are described. From 144 samples, 111 species and varieties of microalgae were identified. Diatoms prevailed up to 110‰. S. They were substituted by Cyanophyta at higher salinities. The microbial mats consisted of Cyanophyta, Beggiatoa spp., purple sulphur bacteria, and diatoms. Information on hypertonic resistance in some euryhaline species is given. © 1990 Kluwer Academic Publishers.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
