9. Perception and responses to environmental variability and
changes
9.1 Microbial strategies to survive environmental changes
- Adaptation and survival strategies, responses to nutrient starvation: cell cycles,
resting or dormant stages, spore formation, storage of nutrients and oxidants.
- Life in gradients and transients: responses to environmental stimuli.
- Adaptation to rapid and extreme environmental changes.
- Life in physically and chemically harsh environments.
- Compatible solutes in non-halophilic bacteria as adaptation to osmolality changes.
- Defence: resistance development and propagation.
- Methods of evaluating gene expression in complex microbial ecosystems.
