Desiccation and heat tolerance of Enterobacter sakazakii [PDF]

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2003
Enterobacter sakazakii is an opportunistic pathogen which has been isolated at low levels from powdered infant formulas. This study was performed to demonstrate that Ent. sakazakii is not particularly thermotolerant, but can adapt to osmotic and dry stress.We determined the heat, osmotic and dry stress resistance of Ent. sakazakii.

Tolerance to Desiccation of Diospyros inconstans Jacq. (Ebenaceae) Seeds at Different Maturity Stages

Floresta e Ambiente, 2021
Classifying seeds in terms of desiccation tolerance is the first step in determining the potential and most appropriate conditions for storage. This study aimed to characterize the tolerance to desiccation of Diospyros inconstans seeds from fruits at ...

Desiccation of rock pool habitats and its influence onpopulation persistence in a Daphnia metacommunity [PDF]

, 2009
Habitat instability has an important influence on species' occurrence and community composition. For freshwater arthropods that occur in ephemeral rock pools, the most drastic habitat instabilities are droughts and the intermittent availability of water.

Eggs of the mosquito Aedes aegypti survive desiccation by rewiring their polyamine and lipid metabolism.

PLoS Biology, 2023
Upon water loss, some organisms pause their life cycles and escape death. While widespread in microbes, this is less common in animals. Aedes mosquitoes are vectors for viral diseases.

Physiological, cellular and molecular aspects of the desiccation tolerance in Anadenanthera colubrina seeds during germination

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2017
During germination, orthodox seeds become gradually intolerant to desiccation, and for this reason, they are a good model for recalcitrance studies. In the present work, physiological, biochemical, and ultrastructural aspects of the desiccation tolerance

Desiccation tolerance of prokaryotes

Microbiological Reviews, 1994
The removal of cell-bound water through air drying and the addition of water to air-dried cells are forces that have played a pivotal role in the evolution of the prokaryotes. In bacterial cells that have been subjected to air drying, the evaporation of free cytoplasmic water (Vf) can be instantaneous, and an equilibrium between cell-bound water (Vb ...

A Modulating Role for Antioxidants in Desiccation Tolerance [PDF]

Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2005
Most organisms depend on the availability of water. However, some life-forms, among them plants and fungi, but very few animals, can survive in the desiccated state. Here we discuss biochemical mechanisms that confer tolerance to desiccation in photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic organisms.

The Re-Establishment of Desiccation Tolerance in Germinated Arabidopsis thaliana Seeds and Its Associated Transcriptome

, 2011
The combination of robust physiological models with “omics” studies holds promise for the discovery of genes and pathways linked to how organisms deal with drying. Here we used a transcriptomics approach in combination with an in vivo physiological model

Induction of desiccation tolerance in desiccation sensitive Citrus limon seeds [PDF]

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, 2019
AbstractMany economically important perennial species bear recalcitrant seeds, including tea, coffee, cocoa, mango, citrus, rubber, oil palm and coconut. Orthodox seeds can be dried almost completely without losing viability, but so‐called recalcitrant seeds have a very limited storage life and die upon drying below a higher critical moisture content ...
