Adaptation to Varying Salinity in Halomonas elongata: Much More Than Ectoine Accumulation
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 The halophilic γ-proteobacterium Halomonas elongata DSM 2581T thrives at salt concentrations well above 10 % NaCl (1.7 M NaCl). A well-known osmoregulatory mechanism is the accumulation of the compatible solute ectoine within the cell in response to ...
