Physiological and genetic regulation of anhydrobiosis in yeast cells
Anhydrobiosis is a state of living organisms during which their metabolism is reversibly delayed or suspended due to a high degree of dehydration....

Time-series transcriptomic screening of factors contributing to the cross-tolerance to UV radiation and anhydrobiosis in tardigrades
BackgroundTardigrades are microscopic animals that are capable of tolerating extreme environments by entering a desiccated state of suspended...

State of Cyanobacteria Arthrospira platensis and of Associated Microflora during Long-Term Storage in the State of Anhydrobiosis
Abstract —The biochemical composition of Arthrospira ( Spirulina ) platensis (Nordstedt) Gomont after long-term storage in the state of anhydrobiosis...

Mitochondrial alternative oxidase contributes to successful tardigrade anhydrobiosis
Anhydrobiosis can be described as an adaptation to lack of water that enables some organisms, including tardigrades, to survive extreme conditions,...

Anhydrobiosis in yeast: role of cortical endoplasmic reticulum protein Ist2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells during dehydration and subsequent rehydration
Two Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, BY4741 and BY4741-derived strain lacking the IST2 gene (ist2Δ), were used to characterise the possible role of...

Sexual dimorphism in the tardigrade Paramacrobiotus metropolitanus transcriptome
BackgroundIn gonochoristic animals, the sex determination pathway induces different morphological and behavioral features that can be observed...

Multiomics study of a heterotardigrade, Echinisicus testudo, suggests the possibility of convergent evolution of abundant heat-soluble proteins in Tardigrada
BackgroundMany limno-terrestrial tardigrades can enter an ametabolic state, known as anhydrobiosis, upon desiccation, in which the animals can...

The Aphelenchus avenae genome highlights evolutionary adaptation to desiccation
Some organisms can withstand complete body water loss (losing up to 99% of body water) and stay in ametabolic state for decades until rehydration,...

Anhydrobiosis in Non-conventional Yeasts
Anhydrobiosis is a unique state of living organisms that provides the possibility of surviving conditions of extreme heat and drought with temporary...

Tardigrade small heat shock proteins can limit desiccation-induced protein aggregation
Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are chaperones with well-characterized roles in heat stress, but potential roles for sHSPs in desiccation tolerance...

Convergent evolution of desiccation tolerance in grasses
Desiccation tolerance has evolved repeatedly in plants as an adaptation to survive extreme environments. Plants use similar biophysical and cellular...

Ionizing radiation responses appear incidental to desiccation responses in the bdelloid rotifer Adineta vaga
BackgroundThe remarkable resistance to ionizing radiation found in anhydrobiotic organisms, such as some bacteria, tardigrades, and bdelloid rotifers...
