Journal ArticleDOI
The predominant role of recently discovered tetrahydropyrimidines for the osmoadaptation of halophilic eubacteria
TL;DR: The most predominant solutes detected within a wide range of marine and halophilic micro-organisms were two recently discovered tetrahydropyrimidines ectoine and hydroxyectoine, which were synthesized in response to osmotic stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
The spectrum of compatible solutes in heterotrophic halophilic eubacteria of the family Halomonadaceae
TL;DR: For the first time it could be shown for halophilic eubacteria that the intracellular concentration of solutes is sufficient to balance the osmotic pressure of the medium, and there is no need to postulate a hypo-osmotic cytoplasm.
Book ChapterDOI
Halophily, Taxonomy, Phylogeny and Nomenclature
TL;DR: The distribution of different compatible solutes in the eubacterial phyla Proteobacteria and Firmacutes follows a pattern, however, that at least follows certain regularities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of N -acetylornithine as a novel osmolyte in some Gram-positive halophilic eubacteria
TL;DR: Nδ-acetylornithine is described, for the first time, its intracellular accumulation and use as a compatible solute in halophilic/halotolerant eubacteria.
