PLoS ONE, 2022 Anhydrobiosis is considered to be an adaptation of important applicative implications because it enables resistance to the lack of water. The phenomenon is still not well understood at molecular level.

Diversity, 2022 Anhydrobiosis is induced by loss of water and indicates dehydration tolerance. Survival of dehydration is possible through changes at different levels of organism organization, including a remarkable reduction in metabolic activity at the cellular level.

Mitochondrial alternative oxidase contributes to successful tardigrade anhydrobiosis
Frontiers in Zoology, 2021 Anhydrobiosis can be described as an adaptation to lack of water that enables some organisms, including tardigrades, to survive extreme conditions, even some that do not exist on Earth.

Anhydrobiosis-associated nuclear DNA damage and repair in the sleeping chironomid: linkage with radioresistance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Anhydrobiotic chironomid larvae can withstand prolonged complete desiccation as well as other external stresses including ionizing radiation. To understand the cross-tolerance mechanism, we have analyzed the structural changes in the nuclear DNA using ...

Is There a Single Biochemical Adaptation to Anhydrobiosis? [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2002 Even though water is required for the maintenance of biological integrity, numerous organisms are capable of surviving loss of virtually all their cellular water and existing in a state known as anhydrobiosis. Over the past three decades we and others have established that disaccharides such as trehalose and sucrose are almost certainly involved in ...

PLoS ONE, 2015 Upon desiccation, some tardigrades enter an ametabolic dehydrated state called anhydrobiosis and can survive a desiccated environment in this state. For successful transition to anhydrobiosis, some anhydrobiotic tardigrades require pre-incubation under ...

Biology, 2022 Anhydrobiosis, an adaptive ability to withstand complete desiccation, in the nonbiting midge Polypedilum vanderplanki, is associated with the emergence of new multimember gene families, including a group of 27 genes of late embryogenesis abundant (LEA ...

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 ...
