Abstract

This chapter evaluates the water potential relations of microorganisms in terms of compatible solute and energetic concepts of microbial growth under water stress. It emphasizes physiological characterization of the different mechanistic strategies used by nonxerotolerant and moderately tolerant microorganisms, and evaluation of the ecological implication of these strategies with respect to growth under solute- vs. matric-controlled water potential stress. The chapter evaluates the principles controlling the effect of water potential on microbial activity. It also evaluates the shock and growth response of each physiological class to solute water potential as compared to matric water potential stress and reviews evidence supporting assignment of representative microorganisms to specific classes. The growth, survival and activity response of a microorganism to stress is dictated by the effect of the stress on the physiological and substrate supply determinants of the rate and efficiency of growth and maintenance.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
