Phylogenetically driven sequencing of extremely halophilic archaea reveals strategies for static and dynamic osmo-response.

Organisms across the tree of life use a variety of mechanisms to respond to stress-inducing fluctuations in osmotic conditions. Cellular response mechanisms and phenotypes associated with osmoadaptation also play important roles in bacterial virulence, human health, agricultural production and many...
