Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial behaviour in salt‐stressed ecosystems
Erwin A. Galinski,Hans G. Trüper +1 more
TL;DR: In the natural ecosystem the solutes of primary producers (mainly glycine betaine), which are readily excreted upon dilution stress, certainly play an important role as a ‘preferred’ solute source for heterolrophic organisms, and as a 'vital’ source for organisms unable to synthesize their own compatible solutes.
Book ChapterDOI
An overview of the role and diversity of compatible solutes in Bacteria and Archaea
TL;DR: The mechanisms by which compatible solutes protect enzymes, cell components and cells are still a long way from being thoroughly elucidated, but there is a growing interest in the utilization of these solutes to protect macromolecules and cells from heating, freezing and desiccation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzyme stabilization be ectoine-type compatible solutes: protection against heating, freezing and drying
Karin Lippert,Erwin A. Galinski +1 more
TL;DR: The most prominent protectants were trehalose, ectoine and hydroxyectoine, which are very often found in nature as part of the compatible solute “cocktail” of moderately halophilic eubacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
1,4,5,6-Tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid. A novel cyclic amino acid from halophilic phototrophic bacteria of the genus Ectothiorhodospira.
TL;DR: 1,4,5,6-Tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid is only accumulated within the cytoplasm under certain growth conditions and seems to serve an osmoregulatory function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial milking: A novel bioprocess for production of compatible solutes.
Thomas Sauer,Erwin A. Galinski +1 more
TL;DR: Following a high-cell-density fermentation which provided biomass up to 48 g cell dry weight per liter, alternating osmotic shocks in combination with crossflow filtration techniques to harvest the compatible solutes ectoine and hydroxyectoine were applied.
