Abstract

Microorganisms inhabit diverse and dynamic environments, constantly exposed to various stressors that challenge their survival. The molecular mechanisms underlying microbial stress responses are intricate and multifaceted, reflecting the adaptive strategies developed through evolution. We focus on a comprehensive exploration of microbial stress responses, concentrating on the molecular mechanisms that enable microorganisms to navigate challenges such as temperature fluctuations, oxidative stress, nutrient limitation, osmotic stress, and exposure to toxins and antibiotics.
