Dunaliella bardawil is able to synthesize glycerol very rapidly, starting within minutes of a change in salt concentration, either producing or eliminating glycerol as needed in order to adapt.
Kad Dunaliella bardawil izjūt pirmās sāls koncentrācijas maiņas, tā ļoti ātri reaģē, vai nu producējot, vai izvadot no šūnas glicerīnu.
