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.
