Unveiling metabolic pathways involved in the extreme desiccation tolerance of an Atacama cyanobacterium
Abstract Gloeocapsopsis dulcis strain AAB1 is an extremely xerotolerant cyanobacterium isolated from the Atacama Desert (i.e., the driest and oldest desert on Earth) that holds astrobiological significance due to its ability to biosynthesize compatible solutes at ultra-low water activities. We seque...
