Identification of osmoadaptive strategies in the halophile, heterotrophic ciliate Schmidingerothrix salinarum.
Hypersaline environments pose major challenges to their microbial residents. Microorganisms have to cope with increased osmotic pressure and low water activity and therefore require specific adaptation mechanisms. Although mechanisms have already been thoroughly investigated in the green alga Dunali...
