Comparative studies on storage cells in tardigrades during starvation and anhydrobiosis

open access: greenCurrent Zoology, 2010
The impact of starvation and anhydrobiosis on the number and size of the storage cells in the tardigrade species Milnesium tardigradum, Paramacrobiotus tonollii and Macrobiotus sapiens was investigated to gain more insight on the energetic side of ...

The importance of feeding status and desiccation rate in successful anhydrobiosis of Panagrolaimus detritophagus [PDF]

open access: bronze, 2011
We examined the effect of nutritional status and desiccation rate on the ability of Panagrolaimus detritophagus to undergo anhydrobiosis, as well as to survive high temperatures in the dried state.

Possible roles of CAHS proteins from Tardigrade in osmotic stress tolerance in mammalian cells [PDF]

open access: yesCell Structure and Function
Anhydrobiosis, a phenomenon in which organisms survive extreme dehydration by entering a reversible ametabolic state, is a remarkable example of survival strategies. This study focuses on anhydrobiosis in tardigrades, which are known for their resilience

The phenomenon of anhydrobiosis—structural and functional changes in yeast cells [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Microbiology and Biotechnology
Anhydrobiosis is a phenomenon that involves the ability of microorganisms to survive in an environment of virtually complete dehydration. Yeast cells in anhydrobiosis exhibit several structural and functional changes.

Co-opted and canonical glycerol channels play a major role during anhydrobiosis of an extremophile crustacean [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Biology
Background Extremophiles evolved capacities to survive extended exposure to harsh environmental conditions such as complete desiccation (anhydrobiosis) and freezing (cryobiosis).

Anhydrobiosis: the extreme limit of desiccation tolerance [PDF]

open access: greenInvertebrate Survival Journal, 2007
Extreme habitats give rise to strong stressors that lead organisms to die or to possess specific adaptations to those stressors. One of the most widespread adaptations is quiescence, a common term for several strategies, including anhydrobiosis, a highly

Anhydrobiosis and programmed cell death in plants: Commonalities and Differences

open access: yesCurrent Plant Biology, 2015
Anhydrobiosis is an adaptive strategy of certain organisms or specialised propagules to survive in the absence of water while programmed cell death (PCD) is a finely tuned cellular process of the selective elimination of targeted cell during ...

Introduction to Bacterial Anhydrobiosis: A General Perspective and the Mechanisms of Desiccation-Associated Damage

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
Anhydrobiosis is the ability of selected organisms to lose almost all water and enter a state of reversible ametabolism. Such an organism dries up to a state of equilibrium with dry air.

Anhydrobiosis in yeast: activation effect [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997
Intracellular substances released into the medium during rehydration of dry yeast cells can significantly improve the quality of a synthetic medium. Acceleration of yeast growth in this medium and increased yield of biomass are observed simultaneously ...
