Abstract
The ultrastructure of the extreme halotolerant yeastDebaryomyces hansenii (Zopf) van Rij was similar whether the organism was grown under normal physiological conditions or at high concentrations of NaCl (12, 20 per cent w/v). A multitude of channels often seen in association with plasma membrane and/or vacuoles occur in the cytoplasm. The vacuoles contain lipid storage material. A decrease in mitochondrial size was observed with increasing salt concentration. The ultrastructure has been discussed with respect to halotolerance.
