Abstract
Cladosporium sphaerospermum, isolated from salt pans was halotolerant. When
grown in the presence of salt, the activities of invertase, isocitrate lyase, fructose-1,6
diphosphate aldolase and malate dehydrogenase were found to be increased and that of
amylase decreased. Both, enzyme activation as well as an increase in de novo synthesis of
enzymes were found to be some of the mechanisms of salt mediated changes. This may be one
of the adaptive mechanisms, in halotolerant Cladosporium sphaerospermum.
