Protective effects of ectoine on heat-stressed Daphnia magna [PDF]

Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 2014
Ectoine (ECT) is an amino acid produced and accumulated by halophilic bacteria in stressful conditions in order to prevent the loss of water from the cell. There is a lack of knowledge on the effects of ECT in heat-stressed aquatic animals. The purpose of our study was to determine the influence of ECT on Daphnia magna subjected to heat stress with two

Radiochemotheraphy-induced oral mucositis: Ectoin solution as a new treatment

Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry, 2022
The current treatment for head and neck cancer involves radiotherapy, systemic therapy and surgery in a multidisciplinary approach. Unfortunately, cancer therapies can lead to local and systemic complications or side effects such as mucositis, which is the most common dose-dependent complication in the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract.

Airborne Bacterial Communities: Diversity, Survival Strategies and Functional Roles in the Atmosphere

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This mini‐review synthesises evidence on the taxonomic patterns of airborne microorganisms and the selective pressures they face. We highlight key conserved physiological traits, such as DNA repair and desiccation tolerance, which enable stress‐tolerant members to survive and suggest their potential for activity within the atmospheric environment ...

Temperature- and salinity-decoupled overproduction of hydroxyectoine by chromohalobacter salexigens [PDF]

, 2012
Hydroxyectoine overproduction by the natural producer Chromohalobacter salexigens is presented in this study. Genetically engineered strains were constructed that at low salinity coexpressed, in a vector derived from a native plasmid, the ectoine (ectABC)

Testing an Ectoin Containing Emollient for Atopic Dermatitis

Current Pediatric Reviews, 2019
Aim: To describe the methodology in studying patient’s acceptability and efficacy of an ectoin containing emollient for atopic dermatitis (AD). Methods: We described the methodology that we used in studying emollients and moisturisers, and patient acceptability of a group of AD patients before and following usage of an ectoin-containing proprietary ...
