Abstract excerpt

Micro-organisms have developed systems to adapt to sudden changes in the environment. Here we describe the response of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to osmotic stress. A drop in the water activity (aw) of the medium following the addition of NaCl led to an immediate shrinkage of the cells. D...
