Adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) is an innovative approach for the generation of evolved
microbial strains with desired characteristics, by implementing the rules of natural selection …

Acute stress puts cells at risk, and rapid adaptation is crucial for maximizing cell survival.
Cellular adaptation mechanisms include modification of certain aspects of cell physiology …

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been instrumental in the fermentation of foods and
beverages for millennia. In addition to fermentations like wine, beer, cider, sake, and bread …

The ability to adapt to altered availability of free water is a fundamental property of living
cells. The principles underlying osmoadaptation are well conserved. The yeast …

Lang, Florian, Gillian L. Busch, Markus Ritter, Harald Völkl, Siegfried Waldegger, Erich
Gulbins, and Dieter Häussinger. Functional Significance of Cell Volume Regulatory …

An appropriate response and adaptation to hyperosmolarity, ie., an external osmolarity that
is higher than the physiological range, can be a matter of life or death for all cells. It is …

Publisher Summary The chapter introduces the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase
(MAPK) module. The identification of MAP kinase pathways exemplifies the power of …

The yeast cell wall is a highly dynamic structure that is responsible for protecting the cell
from rapid changes in external osmotic potential. The wall is also critical for cell expansion …

Adaptive homeostasis is “the transient expansion or contraction of the homeostatic range for
any given physiological parameter in response to exposure to sub‐toxic, non‐damaging …

SUMMARY A cascade of three protein kinases known as a mitogen-activated protein kinase
(MAPK) cascade is commonly found as part of the signaling pathways in eukaryotic cells …
