The eutardigrade Adorybiotus (Richtersius) coronifer survives cryptobiosis for years. During entrance into anhydrobiosis this species accumulates the disaccharide trehalose reaching a maximum content of 2.3% d.w. In the present study We examined the survival of anhydrobiotic A. (R) coronifer during exposure to alcohols of various polarity, and to high temperatures, as well as qualitative changes in protein synthesis during entrance into anhydrobiosis. Results showed that A. (R) coronifer in anhydrobiosis survived exposure to ethanol for less than 10 minutes whereas exposure to 1-butanol only decreased Survival to 40% after the first 7 days and 1-hexanol did not change survival from the controls after the first 7 days. A. (R) coronifer survived temperatures up to approximately 70degreesC for 60 minutes without any decrease in survival. However, survival decreased rapidly when the exposure temperature was increased to above 70degreesC and no animals survived exposure to 100degreesC. During the entrance into anhydrobiosis a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 71 kDa appeared on acryl amide gels showing protein bands after the animals had been incubated with H-3-Leucine. This protein may belong to the Heat-shock protein (Hsp) 70 family. The results on the survival of A. (R) coronifer during exposure to alcohols and high temperature are discussed in light of the trehalose content earlier described in this animal during anhydrobiosis.
