Survival potential of the anhydrobiotic nematode Panagrolaimus superbus submitted to extreme abiotic stresses [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2017 Most organisms die when confronting extreme desiccation regimes, as observed in severe and prolonged droughts. However, some organisms are able to withstand such conditions by entering into a unique state of true suspended animation known as ...

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

Changes in Energy Status of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cells during Dehydration and Rehydration
Microorganisms, 2021 Anhydrobiosis is the state of life when cells are exposed to waterless conditions and gradually cease their metabolism. In this study, we determined the sequence of events in Saccharomyces cerevisiae energy metabolism during processes of dehydration and ...
