Transport kinetics of ectoine, an osmolyte produced by Brevibacterium epidermis [PDF]

, 2006
Brevibacterium epidermis DSM 20659 is a halotolerant Gram-positive bacterium which can synthesize the osmolyte, ectoine, but prefers to take it up from its environment. The present study revealed that B.

Ectoine can enhance structural changes in DNA in vitro [PDF]

, 2017
Strand breaks and conformational changes of DNA have consequences for the physiological role of DNA. The natural protecting molecule ectoine is beneficial to entire bacterial cells and biomolecules such as proteins by mitigating detrimental effects of ...

Developing High‐Efficiency Electroporation Protocols for Hard‐To‐Transform Halomonas spp.

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 12, December 2025.
Genetic manipulation of Halomonas species has been limited by poor transformation efficiencies. Here, we establish a highly efficient electroporation protocol for Halomonas elongata DSM 2581. This method also proved transferable to other Halomonas strains, encouraging further genetic manipulation work in underexplored species.

Compatible solutes from hyperthermophiles improve the quality of DNA microarrays

BMC Biotechnology, 2007
Background DNA microarrays are among the most widely used technical platforms for DNA and RNA studies, and issues related to microarrays sensitivity and specificity are therefore of general importance in life sciences. Compatible solutes are derived from

Production of hydroxyectoine from biogas by an engineered strain of Methylomicrobium alcaliphilum using a novel Taylor‐flow bioreactor

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 100, Issue 7, Page 1425-1433, July 2025.
Abstract BACKGROUND The production of compatible solutes, such as ectoine and hydroxyectoine, is of great interest due to their industrial and biotechnological applications. Methylomicrobium alcaliphilum was genetically engineered to replace a native gene with a heterologous one, aiming to enhance ectoine production.

High-salinity growth conditions promote tat-independent secretion of tat substrates in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]

, 2012
The Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis contains two Tat translocases, which can facilitate transport of folded proteins across the plasma membrane. Previous research has shown that Tat-dependent protein secretion in B.

The MtrAB two-component system controls antibiotic production in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2 [PDF]

, 2017
MtrAB is a highly conserved two-component system implicated in the regulation of cell division in the Actinobacteria. It coordinates DNA replication with cell division in the unicellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis and links antibiotic production to ...

Combined influence of ectoine and salt: spectroscopic and numerical evidence for compensating effects on aqueous solutions [PDF]

, 2016
Ectoine is an important osmolyte, which allows microorganisms to survive in extreme environmental salinity. The hygroscopic effects of ectoine in pure water can be explained by a strong water binding behavior whereas a study on the effects of ectoine in ...
