Fast, Multiphase Volume Adaptation to Hyperosmotic Shock by Escherichia coli
Fast, Multiphase Volume Adaptation to Hyperosmotic Shock by Escherichia coli is a scholarly work by Teuta Pilizota, published in 2012 in ''PLOS One''. The main subjects of the publication include osmotic shock, optogenetics, cell biology, Escherichia coli, shock, osmolarity, protein structure prediction, ocular adaptation, osmotic pressure, turgor pressure, cytoplasm, biology, cell disruption, lysis, photosynthesis, and biophysics. The authors find that cells are able to recover fully from shocks as high as 1 Osmol/kg using existing systems, but that for larger shocks, protein synthesis is required for full recovery.
