Characterization of the Desiccation Tolerance of Cronobacter sakazakii Strains [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Strong desiccation tolerance is an outstanding feature of Cronobacter sakazakii and can enable the bacterium to survive in a dry food matrix (such as milk powder) for a long time.

Regulatory dynamics distinguishing desiccation tolerance strategies within resurrection grasses [PDF]
Plant Direct, 2022 Desiccation tolerance has evolved recurrently in grasses using two unique strategies of either protecting or dismantling the photosynthetic apparatus to minimize photooxidative damage under life without water (anhydrobiosis).

Tolerance of thermophilic and hyperthermophilic microorganisms to desiccation
Extremophiles, 2009 We examined short- and long-term desiccation tolerance of 31 strains of thermophilic and hyperthermophilic Archaea and thermophilic phylogenetically deep-branching Bacteria.

Plant Desiccation Tolerance and its Regulation in the Foliage of Resurrection “Flowering-Plant” Species [PDF]
Agronomy, 2018 The majority of flowering-plant species can survive complete air-dryness in their seed and/or pollen. Relatively few species (‘resurrection plants’) express this desiccation tolerance in their foliage. Knowledge of the regulation of desiccation tolerance

Protein Aggregation is Associated with Acinetobacter baumannii Desiccation Tolerance
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.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 Most higher plants are unable to survive desiccation to an air-dried state. An exception is a small group of vascular angiosperm plants, termed resurrection plants. They have evolved unique mechanisms of desiccation tolerance and thus can tolerate severe
