![]() ![]() This leads to a number of interesting possibilities. ![]() However, in a normal submerged culture, cells are dispersed, chemical cues are diluted, and their communication is interrupted. In such manner, they can cooperatively respond to environmental changes. For example, as discussed above, in natural liquids, individual cells are in fact closely connected and communicated with each other through soluble chemicals. And yet, notwithstanding advances in biochemistry and microbiology, there lacks sufficient connection to translate existing knowledge into fermentation and industrial technology. Despite this, through aspects covered in this chapter, we have given a glimpse of how life is entirely governed by water from the molecular reaction to the cellular community. The effects of water on microorganisms is such a broad topic that within the limitation of a chapter, it can't be comprehensively summarized or explained in full detail. At the community level, it affects structure and total microbial activity. At the molecular level, water shapes and stabilizes biomolecules and assists their function at cellular level, water affects cellular shape, composition, gene expression, metabolite production and growth. In this chapter, we have examined the effects of water on molecules and cells. Yu Cao, Colin Webb, in Comprehensive Biotechnology (Third Edition), 2019 2.13.10 Summary
