Anhydrobiosis without trehalose in bdelloid rotifers [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2003 Eukaryotes able to withstand desiccation enter a state of suspended animation known as anhydrobiosis, which is thought to require accumulation of the non‐reducing disaccharides trehalose (animals, fungi) and sucrose (plants), acting as water replacement molecules and vitrifying agents.

Co-opted and canonical glycerol channels play a major role during anhydrobiosis of an extremophile crustacean [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Extremophiles evolved capacities to survive extended exposure to harsh environmental conditions such as complete desiccation (anhydrobiosis) and freezing (cryobiosis).

Microorganisms, 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.

Antioxidant Response during the Kinetics of Anhydrobiosis in Two Eutardigrade Species
Life, 2022 Anhydrobiosis, a peculiar adaptive strategy existing in nature, is a reversible capability of organisms to tolerate a severe loss of their body water when their surrounding habitat is drying out.

Anhydrobiosis in yeast: activation effect [PDF]
Brazilian 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 ...

Metabolite phosphatase from anhydrobiotic tardigrades. [PDF]
FEBS JIn this study, we determined the crystal structure of a Ferritin‐like protein widely distributed among intriguing organisms such as tardigrades, which show tolerance to extreme environmental conditions. We identified a dinuclear metal‐binding site, which we found harbors phosphatase activity toward several metabolites, including compounds related to ...

Anhydrobiosis in bacteria: From physiology to applications
Journal of Biosciences, 2011 Anhydrobiosis is a phenomenon related to the partial or total desiccation of living organisms, keeping their vital functions after rehydration. The desiccated state in prokaryotes has been widely studied, mainly due to the broad spectrum of the anhydrobiosis applications.

A phase transition modulates the protective function of a tardigrade disordered protein during desiccation. [PDF]
Protein SciAbstract Water is essential for active life, yet some organisms, such as tardigrades, can survive prolonged periods of drying‐induced dormancy. Cytoplasmic abundant heat‐soluble (CAHS) proteins are disordered proteins that undergo a phase transition from the solution to gel state.

Anhydrobiosis: the extreme limit of desiccation tolerance [PDF]
Invertebrate 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

Environmental Microbiology, 2021 Summary The loss of cellular water (desiccation) and the resulting low cytosolic water activity are major stress factors for life. Numerous prokaryotic and eukaryotic taxa have evolved molecular and physiological adaptions to periods of low water availability or water‐limited environments that occur across the terrestrial Earth.
