Glutamine synthetase 2 is not essential for biosynthesis of compatible solutes in Halobacillus halophilus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Halobacillus halophilus, a moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from salt marshes, produces various compatible solutes to cope with osmotic stress. Glutamate and glutamine are dominant compatible solutes at mild salinities.

Nitrogen-fixing aerobic bacteria have higher genomic GC content than non-fixing species within the same genus [PDF]

, 1998
The genomic GC contents of both nitrogen-fixing and non-fixing members of eight genera of bacteria are investigated. Analysis by t-tests showed that in the two aerobic genera investigated (Aquaspirillum and Vibrio) there is a significantly higher GC ...

Exploring Ectoine Production From Methanol, Formate, and Electrochemically Produced Formate by Methyloligella halotolerans

Engineering in Life Sciences, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial synthesis using renewable C1‐carbon sources like electrochemically produced formate (e‐formate) represents a promising approach for climate‐neutral chemical production. This study investigates formate utilization for ectoine biosynthesis by the halophilic methylotroph Methyloligella halotolerans.

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 23, Page 3417-3443, December 2025.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Salinization influences the biodiversity‐ecosystem functioning relationship more strongly at high salinity

mLife, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 681-694, December 2025.
Abstract Salinization threatens ecosystem stability by altering microbial diversity and function, yet how salinity influences biodiversity‐ecosystem functioning (BEF) relationships remains unclear. In this study, we constructed artificial microbial communities (5–40 strains) with varying salt tolerance and phylogeny, culturing them across a salinity ...
