Ectoine from bacterial and algal origin is a compatible solute in microalgae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Osmoregulation in phytoplankton is attributed to several highly polar low-molecular-weight metabolites. A widely accepted model considers dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) as the most important and abundant osmotically active metabolite.

Formulating bacterial endophyte: Pre-conditioning of cells and the encapsulation in amidated pectin beads

open access: yesBiotechnology Reports, 2020
Despite the benefits of bacterial endophytes, recent studies on the mostly Gram-negative bacteria lack of regard for formulation strategies. The encapsulation into biopolymeric materials such as amidated pectins hydrogels is a suitable alternative. Here,

The crystal structure of the tetrameric DABA‐aminotransferase EctB, a rate‐limiting enzyme in the ectoine biosynthesis pathway

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 287, Issue 21, Page 4641-4658, November 2020., 2020
The 2,4‐diaminobutyric acid (DABA) aminotransferase EctB is the first enzyme in the (S)‐2‐methyl‐1,4,5,6‐tetrahydro‐4‐pyrimidine carboxylic acid (ectoine) biosynthesis pathway, the rate‐limiting enzyme for whole‐cell biosynthesis of the osmoprotectant ectoine.

An Updated genome annotation for the model marine bacterium Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS-3 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
When the genome of Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS-3 was published in 2004, it represented the first sequence from a heterotrophic marine bacterium. Over the last ten years, the strain has become a valuable model for understanding the cycling of sulfur and carbon ...

Biochemical properties of ectoine hydroxylases from extremophiles and their wider taxonomic distribution among microorganisms.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Ectoine and hydroxyectoine are well-recognized members of the compatible solutes and are widely employed by microorganisms as osmostress protectants. The EctABC enzymes catalyze the synthesis of ectoine from the precursor L-aspartate-β-semialdehyde.

Effect of Osmolytes on Photoassembly of Functionally Active Mn4CaO5 Cluster in Mn-Depleted Photosystem II Preparations Isolated from Spinach Leaves

open access: yesHorticulturae, 2023
The effect of osmolytes (trehalose, sucrose, betaine, D-glucose and hydroxyectoine) on the photoassembly of the functionally active inorganic core of the water-oxidizing complex (Mn4CaO5 cluster) in Mn-depleted PSII preparations (apo-WOC-PSII) was ...

Organic compatible solutes of halotolerant and halophilic microorganisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
從苗栗通宵鹽山取得的粗鹽結晶中純化出十八株能生長在4.0 M高鹽的菌株。由16S rDNA序列的分析,確認這十八菌株均為極端高鹽太古生物,其中呈紅色菌落的HLR1~6這六株菌均屬於Haloarcula屬,而十二株淺紅色菌落的HLO1~6及白色菌落的HLW1~6屬於Natrinema屬。這十二株Natrinema屬的菌株均為長桿狀細胞,皆具有觸酶及氧化酶的活性,可以利用色胺酸、檸檬酸和葡萄糖,但都不能分解澱粉、明膠、脂質及卵磷脂,和Natrinema屬的菌株之16S rDNA相似度在97~99 %之間 ...

Regulation of osmoadaptation in the moderate halophile Halobacillus halophilus : chloride, glutamate and switching osmolyte strategies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The moderate halophile Halobacillus halophilus is the paradigm for chloride dependent growth in prokaryotes. Recent experiments shed light on the molecular basis of the chloride dependence that is reviewed here.

Anti-Melanogenic Effects of Hydroxyectoine via MITF Inhibition by JNK, p38, and AKT Pathways in B16F10 Melanoma Cells

open access: yesNatural Product Communications, 2019
Melanin plays a role in determining human skin color of a person, and a large amount of melanin makes the skin color look darkened. The proper amount of melanin formation protects our skin from UV radiation, but excessive melanin production causes ...
