Osmoregulation is the active control of the cellular water balance and encompasses homeostatic mechanisms crucial for life. The osmoregulatory system in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is particularly well understood. Key to yeast osmoregulation is the production and accumulation of the compatible solute glycerol, which is partly controlled by the ...

Osmoregulation and Fish Transportation
Cellular osmoregulation constitutes a phylogenetically conserved set of highly complex responses to changes in external osmolality/tonicity to maintain cell volume, intracellular concentrations of macro- and micromolecules, protein structure and function, and genomic integrity.

The osmoregulation of selected gammarid amphipods [PDF]
The osmoregulation of gammarid amphipods from fresh, brackish and marine environments are investigated. Osmoregulation is determined from measurements of haemolymph ion concentration, half time of body water exchange (t1/2), sodium flux and gill Na+, K ...

The molecular mechanisms of animal cell osmoregulation are poorly understood. Genetic studies of osmoregulation in yeast have identified mucin-like proteins as critical regulators of osmosensitive signaling and gene expression.

Background Osmotic stress is a widespread phenomenon in aquatic animal. The ability to cope with salinity stress and alkaline stress is quite important for the survival of aquatic species under natural conditions.

Salinity Acclimation Strategies in Nitrifying Bioreactors
Several industries, including aquaculture, produce effluents with high or varying salt concentrations. The treatment of such effluents by the biological nitrification process can be challenging, as the microbes performing this process are sensitive to ...

Species invasions are a global problem of increasing concern, especially in highly connected aquatic environments. Despite this, salinity conditions can pose physiological barriers to their spread, and understanding them is important for management.

The osmoregulation of vasopressin
The concept that secretion of the antidiuretic hormone, arginine vasopressin, is regulated by the osmolality of body water originated with the pioneering studies of Verney over 25 years ago [1]. In a classical series of experiments, this investigator showed that the injection of hypertonic saline into the carotid artery of conscious, hydrated dogs ...
