1. Crude extracts of the extreme halophile Halobacterium cutirubrum contain separable DNA-dependent and RNA-dependent RNA polymerases. 2. The RNA-dependent enzyme has been purified about 2800-fold. 3. It requires RNA, preferably of high molecular weight, and all four ribonucleoside triphosphates to incorporate 14C-labelled nucleoside triphosphate into an acid-insoluble, ribonuclease-sensitive product. 4. Both the stability and activity of the RNA polymerase are relatively insensitive to changes in potassium chloride or sodium chloride concentration, but incorporation is stimulated by both Mg2+ and Mn2+. 5. The molecular weight of the enzyme is about 17000–18000.

ABSTRACT Viruses were characterized by their adsorption to DEAE-Sepharose or by their elution from octyl-Sepharose by using buffered solutions of sodium chloride with different ionic strengths. Viruses whose adsorption to DEAE-Sepharose was reduced most rapidly by an increase in the sodium chloride concentration were considered to have the weakest electrostatic interactions with the solids; these viruses included MS2, E1, and φX174. Viruses whose adsorption to DEAE-Sepharose was reduced least rapidly were considered to have the strongest electrostatic interactions with the column; these viruses included P1, T4, T2, and E5. All of the viruses studied adsorbed to octyl-Sepharose in the presence of 4 M NaCl. Viruses that were eluted most rapidly following a decrease in the concentration of NaCl were considered to have the weakest hydrophobic interactions with the column; these viruses included φX174, CB4, and E1. Viruses that were eluted least rapidly from the columns after the NaCl concentration was decreased were considered to have the strongest hydrophobic interactions with the column; these viruses included f2, MS2, and E5.

Young barley plants, Hordeum vulgare cv. Chevron, were subjected to a sodium chloride concentration of 100 m-equiv/l. In a "continued" treatment, the salinity stress was maintained for 15 days. In a "removed" treatment, sodium chloride was removed from the substrate after 5 days, and the subsequent response was studied over a period of 10 days.

Stichococcus bacillaris has been grown under conditions of varying ionic concentrations. Sodium chloride appears to be the dominant compound in determining growth of this euryhaline alga and from the reaction to increased sodium chloride concentration it is postulated that S. bacillaris is a freshwater organism which can tolerate high salinities. Some morphogenetic effects of high salinity are described.
