By means of LKB 2277 bioactivity monitor, ampoule method at 37 ℃, the thermogenic curves of Halobacterium halobium R1 growth were obtained. In order to analyze the results, the maximum power P m and the growth rate constants k were determined, showing that values of P m and k are linked to the concentration of La 3+ . Addition of low concentration of La 3+ can cause a decrease of the maximum heat production and growth rate constant. However, high concentration of La 3+ may promote growth of Halobacterium halobium R1, but at much higher concentration of La 3+ , the growth of Halobacterium halobium R1 is inhibited again. For comparison, the shapes of Halobacterium halobium R1 cell were observed by means of transmission electron microscope.
