      How at the cellular level does salt concen affect halophilic bacterial growth?

      I’ve come up with only a little bit, but I need more …
      – at optimum the Na+ ions make the cell membrane stronger and increase Na+ depend. active transport and movement–> increased division?
      – higher—->> weakens the cell membrane –> ??
      -lower—->> not enough for the Na+ -dependent transport—> decreased cell division
      – at high/low [] the water availability causes the cell to crenate/lyase?
      What else can I add?
