Abstract: Cyanobacteria show different adaptations under various salt stress conditions, which facilitate their survival. Pyrophosphate works as an energy donor while energy depletion in the cyanobacteria during salt stress condition. Alternative glycolytic reaction can bypass Pi dependent (ATP dependent) pathway of glycolytic cycle in cyanobacteria, through which these organisms are acclimated to salt stress.
