Protein Aggregation is Associated with Acinetobacter baumannii Desiccation Tolerance [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 Desiccation tolerance has been implicated as an important characteristic that potentiates the spread of the bacterial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii on dry surfaces. Here we explore several factors influencing desiccation survival of A. baumannii.

Experiences with electrophysical desiccation in early potatoes from Rhineland-Palatinate
Journal für Kulturpflanzen, 2023 Electrophysical desiccation of early potatoes was tested as a non-chemical tool to reduce herbicide use. Therefore, the XPower device (Zasso®) was tested at three sites (Rhineland-Palatinate) in three trial years (2020–2022) with two driving speeds and ...

An Experimental Evolution Test of the Relationship between Melanism and Desiccation Survival in Insects. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 We used experimental evolution to test the 'melanism-desiccation' hypothesis, which proposes that dark cuticle in several Drosophila species is an adaptation for increased desiccation tolerance.

Measuring desiccation-induced tensile stress during cracking process
Soils and Foundations, 2021 The desiccation cracking of soil occurs when shrinkage is restricted during the drying process and the induced tensile stress equals the tensile strength.

Physiological and immunological responses of sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus during desiccation and subsequent resubmersion [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Desiccation is one of the extremely stressful situations experienced by aquatic animals, and sea cucumber usually suffers from desiccation stress during transportation without water.

Metabolite Profiling in Green Microalgae with Varying Degrees of Desiccation Tolerance
Microorganisms, 2022 Trebouxiophyceae are microalgae occupying even extreme environments such as polar regions or deserts, terrestrial or aquatic, and can occur free-living or as lichen photobionts.
