Scientific Reports, 2020 Larvae of the sleeping chironomid Polypedilum vanderplanki are known for their extraordinary ability to survive complete desiccation in an ametabolic state called “anhydrobiosis”. The unique feature of P.

Scientific Reports, 2022 Dispersal abilities in animals contribute to their local genetic variability and species persistence. However, the mechanisms facilitating a short-distance migration of small organisms remain underexplored. In this study we experimentally tested the role

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2017 The molecular basis of anhydrobiosis, the state of suspended animation entered by some species during extreme desiccation, is still poorly understood despite a number of transcriptome and proteome studies.

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 ...

Anhydrobiosis in Bdelloid Species, Populations and Individuals [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2005 Bdelloid rotifers are aquatic microinvertebrates common in water bodies and in unstable "terrestrial" habitats, such as mosses and lichens. The key to the adaptability to live in unstable habitats is their capacity to tolerate habitat desiccation through anhydrobiosis, that is assumed apomorphic to the taxon. The life history traits of some "moss" and "

BMC Genomics, 2021 Background Many limno-terrestrial tardigrades can enter an ametabolic state, known as anhydrobiosis, upon desiccation, in which the animals can withstand extreme environments.

Anhydrobiosis: The Model Worm as a Model? [PDF]
Current Biology, 2011 New work now shows that the dauer larvae of Caenorhabditis elegans can survive anhydrobiotically. The genetic tractability of this model organism may be useful in studying how organisms survive when losing most or all of their water.

‘Follow the Water’: Microbial Water Acquisition in Desert Soils
Microorganisms, 2023 Water availability is the dominant driver of microbial community structure and function in desert soils. However, these habitats typically only receive very infrequent large-scale water inputs (e.g., from precipitation and/or run-off). In light of recent

Anhydrobiosis: Drying Out with Sugar [PDF]
Current Biology, 2014 The disaccharide trehalose is a major determinant of desiccation tolerance via unresolved mechanisms. A new study highlights a critical role for this chemical chaperone in energy-independent maintenance of protein homeostasis during extended periods of dehydration and relative metabolic inactivity.
