Prevalence of sucretolerant bacteria in common soils and their isolation and characterization

Fredsgaard, Casper; Moore, Donald B.; Chen, Fei; Clark, Benton C.; Schneegurt, Mark A. (Springer, 2017-08)

Sucretolerant microbes grow in the presence of sugar concentrations high enough to substantially lower water activities. Natural habitats high in sugars are mainly limited to dried fruit, floral nectar, honey, sugarcane, ...
Relationships between sucretolerance and salinotolerance in bacteria from hypersaline environments and their implications for the exploration of Mars and the icy worlds

Fredsgaard, Casper; Moore, Donald B.; Alsoudi, Amer F.; Crisler, James D.; Chen, Fei; Clark, Benton C.; Schneegurt, Mark A. (Cambridge University Press, 2017-04)

The most extremely osmotolerant microbial isolates are fungi from high-sugar environments that tolerate the lowest water activity (0.61) for growth yet reported. Studies of osmotolerant bacteria have focused on halotolerance ...
