Dessication is when a cell dries out. Think of it as dehydration.
It is a process called dessication
freezing (refrigeration), drying (dessication), asphalt, amber, carbonization (distillation), permineralization
the cuticle prevents dessication
Encapsulated bacterial cells are very resistant and least affected by chemicals, dessication and the action of phagocytes.
resting or dormant type of cell that is highly resistant to environmental extremes (heat, dessication, oxygen, radiation, disinfectants).
On their cuticule, it would help to prevent dessication (drying out), by keeping their water from evaporating.
Evaporation is when a liquid is absorbed into the atmosphere. Dissipation can refer to any sort of substance spreading out.
Some bacteria, like many Bacilllus species, form endospores when they run out of food. Endospores are resistant to heat, dessication, weak acid, etc.
I believe the cuticle prevents dessication of the worm (drying out).
Lipid Envelop. Thus, they are less subject to dessication, destruction in the G.I. and can survive outside of a host.
no, putting a cell in a solution with a high concentration of salt will cause all the water to leave the cell, called dessication, which kills the cell.
Beef jerky comes pretty close, in that it's preserved by dessication. Vegetables (and meat for that matter) preserved in oil would also contain little water.
