All 49 isolates of nonfilamentous phycomycetes of marine origin were found to require NaCl for optimum growth. Thraustochytrium globosum gave parallel responses, which were not qualitatively affected by temperature, to salinity and to NaCl concentration. The NaCl optimum was unchanged after 5 serial cultures, using large inocula, in low (1%) and high (4%) NaCl.
