Salinization of soil is recognised as one of the most pressing environmental challenges to
resolve for the next century. We here conduct a synoptic review of the available research on …

Fluctuations in environmental osmolarity are ubiquitous stress factors in many natural
habitats of microorganisms, as they inevitably trigger osmotically instigated fluxes of water …
