Average cell sizes and their schematic distributions during D. salina response after hyper-osmotic shock.D. salina: immediate response over the first two hours (A) and pre-adaptation over ten days (B); cell size distributions at 0 h (I), at 48 h (II), and at 96 h (III). D. salina cells were cultivated in Gg-8 medium containing 1.5 M NaCl for five days and then concentrated cells were transferred to Gg-8 medium containing 2.5 M NaCl. The average cell size values are averaged from three independent experiments. The error bars indicate the standard deviation.
