- W124234037 abstract "Microorganisms in desert environments can form rich assemblages in spite of the harsh environmental conditions. These include extensive biological soil crusts dominated by cyanobacteria, lichens, and mosses in semiarid and arid regions, and epilithic, endolithic, and hypolithic phototrophic associations wherever suitable substrata are available. In the more arid regions, the cyanobacterial Chroococcidiopsis gains in importance. The extent of these associations depends on the moisture availability, the hyperarid core of the Atacama being near the limits of life on Earth. Survival of desert microorganisms in these environments is dependent on their ability to survive extended periods in the desiccated state. Low water activity and desiccation can result in damage to cell membranes, oxidation and photooxidation of macromolecules, and desiccation-induced breaks in DNA. Endolithic and hypolithic growth can alleviate the damage by prolonging the period of activity and reducing the amount of photooxidative damage. Biological adaptations include the production of exopolysaccharide sheaths; the production of compatible solutes, especially trehalose; the production of UV-blocking chemicals such as scytonemin and mycosporine-like amino acids; and the possible use of special DNA-repair mechanisms such as are found in radiation-resistant bacteria." @default.
