The accumulation of polyols by Aspergillus niger (van Tiegh) strain S 1 and Penicillium chrysogenum (Thom) strain S 30 was followed during growth in media of different concentrations of NaCl. The major polyols found were glycerol, erythritol and mannitol. The total polyol pool increased in both organisms in response to raised salinity, and the proportion of glycerol and erythritol was markedly enhanced at high salinity.
