function in other taxa

as earlier stated, turgor pressure can found in other organisms besides plants, , can play large role in development, movement , nature of said organisms.

fungi

shaggy ink caps bursting through asphalt due high turgor pressures

in fungi, tugor pressure has been observed large factor in substrate penetration. in species such saprolegnia ferax, magnaporthe grisea , aspergillus oryzae, immense turgor pressures have been observed in hyphae. study showed penetrate substances plant cells, , synthetic materials such polyvinyl chloride. in observations of phenomenon, noted invasive hyphal growth due turgor pressure, along coenzymes secreted fungi invade said substrates. hyphal growth directed related turgor pressure, , growth slows turgor pressure decreases. in magnaporthe grisea, pressures of 8 mpa have been observed.

protists

some protists not have cell walls , cannot experience turgor pressure. these few protists ones use contractile vacuole regulate quantity of water within cell. protist cells avoid lysing in solutions utilizing vacuole pumps water out of cells maintain osmotic equilibrium.

animals

turgor pressure not observed in animal cells because lack cell wall. in organisms cell walls, cell wall prevents cell lysing high pressure values.

diatoms

in diatoms, heterokontophyta have polyphyletic turgor-resistant cell walls. throughout these organisms life cycle, controlled turgor pressure responsible cell expansion , release of sperm, not things such seta growth.

cyanobacteria

gas-vaculate cyanobacterium ones responsible water-blooms. have ability float due accumulation of gases within vacuole, , role of turgor pressure , effect on capacity of these vacuoles has been observed in varying scientific papers. noted higher turgor pressure, lower capacity of gas-vacuoles in different cyanobacterium. experiments used correlate osmosis , turgor pressure in prokaryotes have been used show how diffusion of solutes cell have play on turgor pressure within cell.
