Abiotic stresses like temperature, water, salinity, ultraviolet (UV) radiations, heavy metals, etc., affect plants’ growth and yield. Despite these constraints, plants produce a variety of metabolites to maintain their survival. Primary metabolites, produced through crucial metabolic processes, are essential for plants survival.

Thermoprotection by glycine betaine and choline [PDF]
Glycine betaine is mostly known as an osmoprotectant. It is involved in the osmotic adaptation of eukaryotic and bacterial cells, and accumulates up to 1 M inside cells subjected to an osmotic upshock. Since, like other osmolytes, it can act as a protein stabilizer, its thermoprotectant properties were investigated.

Metabolism of dimethylsulfoniopropionate and glycine betaine by a marine bacterium [PDF]
The metabolism of the methylated osmolytes glycine betaine (GB) and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) was studied in a bacterium (strain MD 14-50) isolated from a colony of the cyanobacterium Trichodesmium. MD 14-50 when grown on DMSP cleaved dimethylsulfide (DMS) from DMSP and oxidized acrylate.

Choline catabolism to glycine betaine contributes to Pseudomonas aeruginosa survival during murine lung infection. [PDF]
Pseudomonas aeruginosa can acquire and metabolize a variety of molecules including choline, an abundant host-derived molecule. In P. aeruginosa, choline is oxidized to glycine betaine which can be used as an osmoprotectant, a sole source of carbon and ...

Pathway of Glycine Betaine Biosynthesis in Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe choline oxidase (CHOA) and betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) genes identified inAspergillus fumigatusare present as a cluster specific for fungal genomes. Biochemical and molecular analyses of this cluster showed that it has very specific biochemical and functional features that make it unique and different from its plant and bacterial ...
