The marine bacterium Vibrio parahaemolyticus has evolved multiple strategies for adapting
to short-and long-term shifts in osmolarity. One such mechanism involves the uptake and/or …

Bacteria accumulate small, organic compounds called compatible solutes via uptake from
the environment or biosynthesis from available precursors to maintain the turgor pressure of …

Bacteria have evolved mechanisms that allow them to adapt to changes in osmolarity and
some species have adapted to live optimally in high salinity environments such as the …

Vibrio cholerae inhabits aquatic environments and colonizes the human digestive tract to
cause the disease cholera. In these environments, V. cholerae copes with fluctuations in …

Bacteria accumulate small, organic compounds, called compatible solutes, via uptake from
the environment or biosynthesis from available precursors to maintain the turgor pressure of …

To maintain the turgor pressure of the cell under high osmolarity, bacteria accumulate small
organic compounds called compatible solutes, either through uptake or biosynthesis. Vibrio …

In order to investigate the functionality of specialized genomic features in the osmotic stress
tolerance of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, we divided the research project in three parts:(1) …

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the leading cause of seafood-associated bacterial gastroenteritis
and is a moderately halophilic, salt-requiring bacterium. Global gene expression profiles of …

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a moderately halophilic bacterium found in estuarine and marine
coastal ecosystems worldwide. Although the ability of V. parahaemolyticus to grow and …

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a halophile that is the predominant cause of bacterial seafood-
related gastroenteritis worldwide. To survive in the marine environment, V …
