Exempel på hur man kan använda ANHYDROBIOSIS i en mening

• The main characteristics that distinguish bdelloids from related groups of rotifers are exclusively parthenogenetic reproduction and the ability to survive in dry, harsh environments by entering a state of desiccation-induced dormancy (anhydrobiosis) at any life stage.
• They undergo cryptobiosis or anhydrobiosis, a condition of apparent lifelessness which allows them to survive the desiccation of the temporary pools in which they live.
• The term anhydrobiosis derives from the Greek for "life without water" and is most commonly used for the desiccation tolerance observed in certain invertebrate animals such as bdelloid rotifers, tardigrades, brine shrimp, nematodes, and at least one insect, a species of chironomid (Polypedilum vanderplanki).
• In situ hybridization has shown the activity of esophageal glands in the production of cell wall degrading enzymes such as xylanase and β-mannanase possibly involved in hemicellulose degradation; thaumatin-like protein (TLP) probably involved in protection against bacterial pathogens; late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins possibly involved in the process of anhydrobiosis during survival in dry conditions; and two putative effector proteins that may alter the host defense mechanism: chorismate mutase (CM) and isochorismatase (ICM), thought to be interfering on the salicylic acid pathway and thereby altering the defense mechanisms of the host.
• They are most commonly found in terrestrial habitats due to their anhydrobiosis and cryobiosis abilities, both methods of cryptobiosis.
