Sea Salt
April 2nd, 2011
Does sea salt contain spores of microorganisms that can be reactivated in a fresh water solution?
The sea is a soup of animal and plant life, although highly diluted in total. When sea brine is evaporated, what happens to the microorganisms and plants of that sea soup? Do spores form that could possibly be reactivated by dissolving the sea salt in fresh water?
Yes, there’s a chance that any sea water that would be collected from the ocean would contain microorganisms, but what would happen to them would depend on each type of organisms and what survival mechanisms it has to contend with drying and different salt concentrations.
To be able to survive, the organisms would have to be able to survive increasing salinity (as the water evaporates, the salt concentration becomes stronger) and the dried salt would be a very harsh environment for any organism. Some bacteria would be able to survive by encysting (creating a hard shell around themselves) and there are some organisms like brine shrimp (sea monkeys) or can survive drying in the stage. But to “reactivate”, water would have to be added so the salt concentration would again be near that of natural seawater – too much or too little and they might not be able to survive.
If you’re asking about the sea salt that’s found in grocery stores, there’d be little chance of anything being reconstituted. I’d imagine that besides gathering the sea water, the evaporation would take place at high temperatures so nothing would live through the process.

Salt Of This Sea $17.53 Rated: NASynopsis: An urgent and devastating portrait of life in Palestine, Salt of This Sea is essential viewing. Sixty years after her grandparents exile from Jaffa, Soraya (Suheir Hammad) leaves Brooklyn to live in her homeland. Discovering that her family’s bank account was frozen after the Arab- Israeli way, she decides to leave Brooklyn for her homeland, determined to reclaim her birthright, through whatever means necessary. With the help of her disillusioned lover Emad (Saleh Bakri) and his filmmaker pal Marwan (Riyad Ideis), they plan on one big heist to settle the historical debt. Driving through the countryside like an Arab (and pacifist) Bonnie and Clyde, Soraya and Emad discover their roots while rejecting their status as exiles. Hammad and Bakri attack their roles with feral intensity, electrifying the screen. The first fiction feature of Palestinian-American director Annemarie Jacir, and the first feature film from Palestine by a female director, it is an intimate, urgent and rousing piece of political filmmaking. |
