Bacterial cells are regularly confronted with simultaneous changes in environmental nutrient
supply and osmolarity. Despite the importance of osmolarity and osmoregulation in bacterial …

Trehalose is a disaccharide of two D-glucose molecules linked by a glycosidic linkage,
which plays both structural and functional roles in bacteria. Trehalose can be synthesized …

According to the sit-and-wait hypothesis, long-term environmental survival is positively
correlated with increased bacterial pathogenicity because high durability reduces the …

Acinetobacter baumannii is considered one of the most persistent pathogens responsible for
nosocomial infections. Due to the emergence of multidrug resistant strains, as well as high …

Trehalose, a disaccharide renowned for its ability to stabilize biomolecular architectures
under strenuous conditions, finds extensive use in the cryopreservation of probiotics. A …

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a vital virulence factor of Fusarium graminearum, which causes
Fusarium head blight (FHB). We recently found that validamycin A (VMA), an …

Desiccation is a common stress that bacteria face in the natural environment, and thus, they
have developed a variety of protective mechanisms to mitigate the damage caused by water …

Trehalose is a naturally occurring, non-reducing saccharide widely distributed in nature.
Over the years, research on trehalose has revealed that this initially thought simple storage …

In natural environments, bacteria often enter a state of anhydrobiosis due to water loss.
Multiple studies have demonstrated that desiccation may lead to protein aggregation and …

Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) and the formation of membraneless organelles
(MLOs) contribute to the spatiotemporal organization of various physiological processes in …
