- Abstract
- Environments with high concentrations of salt or other solutes impose an osmotic stress on cells, ultimately limiting viability by dehydration of the cytosol. A very common cellular response to high osmolarity is to immediately import high levels of potassium ion (K + ), which helps prevent dehydration and allows time for the import or synthesis of biocompatible solutes that allow a resumption of growth.
