Biochemistry and Crystal Structure of Ectoine Synthase: A Metal-Containing Member of the Cupin Superfamily. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Ectoine is a compatible solute and chemical chaperone widely used by members of the Bacteria and a few Archaea to fend-off the detrimental effects of high external osmolarity on cellular physiology and growth.

The MocR/GabR Ectoine and Hydroxyectoine Catabolism Regulator EnuR: Inducer and DNA Binding
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The compatible solutes ectoine and 5-hydroxyectoine are widely synthesized by bacteria as osmostress protectants. These nitrogen-rich tetrahydropyrimidines can also be exploited as nutrients by microorganisms. Many ectoine/5-hydroxyectoine catabolic gene

Effects of ectoine on animals and humans [PDF]
Medycyna Weterynaryjna, 2019 Some species of soil bacteria and most organisms living in extreme environments such as salt lakes or coal or salt mines have effective protective mechanisms that enable them to function under adverse conditions. A common way to protect against harmful environmental factors is the production and accumulation of substances with an osmoprotective ...

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 3, Page 776-784, March 2026.The probiotic E. coli Nissle 1917 was engineered to enable stable and antibiotic free protein expression platforms using native plasmids. Further modification aids in the production of high‐level protein expression for antimicrobial secretion whose activity is comparable to industry standard E. coli BL21.

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.In this study, we investigated the protective effects of different membrane‐separated ripe Pu‐erh tea on alcohol‐induced liver injury. The result indicated that ripe Pu‐erh tea separated by a 50 nm ceramic membrane (molecular weight < 300 kDa) has the best effect on preventing ALD.
