Adaptive genetic traits in pelagic freshwater microbes
Abstract Pelagic microbes have adopted distinct strategies to inhabit the pelagial of lakes and oceans and can be broadly categorized in two groups: free‐living, specialized oligotrophs and patch‐associated generalists or copiotrophs. In this review, we aim to identify genomic traits that enable pelagic freshwater microbes to thrive in their habitat ...

Abstract Small, biologically produced, organic molecules called metabolites play key roles in microbial systems where they directly mediate exchanges of nutrients, energy, and information. However, the study of dissolved polar metabolites in seawater and other environmental matrices has been hampered by analytical challenges including high inorganic ...

Protective effect of the extremolytes ectoine and hydroxyectoine in a porcine organ culture. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Hypoxic damage to the retina is a relevant component of neurodegenerative pathologies such as glaucoma or retinal ischemia. In porcine retina organ cultures, hypoxic damage can be induced by applying cobalt chloride (CoCl2).

Abstract Ectoine and its derivative hydroxyectoine are widely synthesized or imported by bacteria to fend off the detrimental effects of high osmolarity on cellular hydration and growth. Genes that are connected to a particular physiological process are often found in the same genomic context.

The whole genome of Chromohalobacter canadensis 85B was sequenced and its genome‐scale metabolic model was reconstructed and validated, enabling a better understanding of its metabolism. We show that C. canadensis is a metabolically versatile organism with many features for stress and osmotic adaptation, including pathways for compatible solute and ...

High survival and stability rates of Escherichia coli dried in hydroxyectoine [PDF]
The tetrahydropyramidine hydroxyectoine acts as an osmolyte in a range of bacterial species, but its use as a desiccation protectant is less well explored. Recently, it was demonstrated that hydroxyectoine provides effective stabilisation of the Gram-negative species Pseudomonas putida, which is only relatively poorly preserved by the better ...

Role of trehalose in salinity and temperature tolerance in the model halophilic bacterium Chromohalobacter salexigens. [PDF]
The disaccharide trehalose is considered as a universal stress molecule, protecting cells and biomolecules from injuries imposed by high osmolarity, heat, oxidation, desiccation and freezing.

Fructose metabolism in Chromohalobacter salexigens: interplay between the Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas and Entner–Doudoroff pathways [PDF]
Background The halophilic bacterium Chromohalobacter salexigens metabolizes glucose exclusively through the Entner–Doudoroff (ED) pathway, an adaptation which results in inefficient growth, with significant carbon overflow, especially at low salinity ...
