Molecular mechanisms of adaptation of the moderately halophilic bacterium Halobacillis halophilus to its environment [PDF]
, 2013 The capability of osmoadaptation is a prerequisite of organisms that live in an environment with changing salinities. Halobacillus halophilus is a moderately halophilic bacterium that grows between 0.4 and 3 M NaCl by accumulating both chloride and ...

Osmoadaptation in rhizobia: ectoine-induced salt tolerance [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1994 After having shown that ectoine (a tetrahydropyrimidine) displays osmoprotective properties towards Escherichia coli (M. Jebbar, R. Talibart, K. Gloux, T. Bernard, and Blanco, J. Bacteriol. 174:5027-5035, 1992), we have investigated the involvement of this molecule in the osmotic adaptation of Rhizobium meliloti. Ectoine appeared almost as effective as

Regulation of osmoadaptation in the moderate halophile Halobacillus halophilus : chloride, glutamate and switching osmolyte strategies [PDF]
, 2008 The moderate halophile Halobacillus halophilus is the paradigm for chloride dependent growth in prokaryotes. Recent experiments shed light on the molecular basis of the chloride dependence that is reviewed here.

PLoS ONE, 2014 Ectoine and hydroxyectoine are well-recognized members of the compatible solutes and are widely employed by microorganisms as osmostress protectants. The EctABC enzymes catalyze the synthesis of ectoine from the precursor L-aspartate-β-semialdehyde.

Fructose metabolism in Chromohalobacter salexigens: interplay between the Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas and Entner–Doudoroff pathways [PDF]
, 2019 Background The halophilic bacterium Chromohalobacter salexigens metabolizes glucose exclusively through the Entner–Doudoroff (ED) pathway, an adaptation which results in inefficient growth, with significant carbon overflow, especially at low salinity ...

High ectoine production by an engineered Halomonas hydrothermalis Y2 in a reduced salinity medium
Microbial Cell Factories, 2019 Background As an attracted compatible solute, 1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid (ectoine) showed great potentials in various field. However, lower productivity and high saline medium seriously hinder its wide applications.

Transport kinetics of ectoine, an osmolyte produced by Brevibacterium epidermis [PDF]
, 2006 Brevibacterium epidermis DSM 20659 is a halotolerant Gram-positive bacterium which can synthesize the osmolyte, ectoine, but prefers to take it up from its environment. The present study revealed that B.
