We were able to demonstrate that hydroxyectoine, in contrast to ectoine, is a good glass-forming compound. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and spin label electron spin resonance (ESR) studies of dry ectoine and hydroxyectoine have shown that the su

Ascospores of Neosartorya, Byssochlamys and Talaromyces can be regarded as the most stress-resistant eukaryotic cells. They can survive exposure at temperatures as high as 85°C for 100 min or more. Neosartorya fischeri ascospores are more viscous an

Late embryogenesis-abundant (LEA) proteins are one of the components involved in desiccation tolerance (DT) by maintaining cellular structures in the dry state. Among them, MtPM25, a member of the group 5 is specifically associated with DT in Medicag

Ascospores of the fungus Talaromyces macrosporus are dormant and extremely stress resistant, whereas fungal conidia—the main airborne vehicles of distribution—are not. Here, physical parameters of the cytoplasm of these types of spores were compa

The swelling behavior of charged phospholipids in pure water is completely different from that of neutral or isoelectric phospholipids. It was therefore suggested in the past that, instead of multilamellar phases, vesicles represent the stable struct
