Both groups released synaptic vesicles from isolated synaptosomes by osmotic shock.

In these cases, mild lysis methods such as osmotic shock are insufficient to open the cell.

Large numbers of starch granules can be emitted when the grain comes into contact with water through a process called osmotic shock.

MscL acts as stretch-activated osmotic release valve in response to osmotic shock.

The role of MscL as a defense mechanism against osmotic shocks indicates its evolutionary importance even during the early phase of biological history.

This property of MscL fulfills its role as an emergency valve to release solutes under osmotic shock.

The growth of the organisms is not detected at 68 or 102 C. Below 1.5% salinity, cells lyse by low osmotic shock.

After cell harvest by centrifugation, 1.5 g of wet cells were subjected to osmotic shock [ 20].

Many organisms will come through this process unharmed as long as the osmotic shock does not last too long.

Thus if the osmotic pressure is too low the organism may be inclined to eat to raise osmolality and prevent osmotic shock.
