Fig. 2From: The diversity and commonalities of the radiation-resistance mechanisms of Deinococcus and its up-to-date applicationsMicrobial cells synthesize trehalose under stress. There are five pathways for trehalose synthesis, TPS/TPP, TreY/TreZ, TreS, TreP, and TreT pathway. Deinococcus contain the TreY/TreZ and TreS pathways (Jiang et al. 2013; Filipkowski et al. 2012; Panek et al. 2013; Xu et al. 2013; Wang et al. 2009)Back to article page
