Abstract excerpt
The internal hydrostatic pressure (turgor) of fungal cells is maintained at 400-500 kPa. The turgor is regulated by changes in ion flux and by production of the osmotically active metabolite glycerol. In Neurospora crassa, there are at least two genetically distinct pathways that function in adaptation to hyperosmotic shock. One involves a mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade (kinases OS-4, OS-5 and...
