Journal ArticleDOI
The role of trehalose as a substitute for nitrogen-containing compatible solutes (Ectothiorhodospira halochloris)
Erwin A. Galinski,Ruth M. Herzog +1 more
TL;DR: The halophilic phototrophic bacterium Ectothiorhodospira halochloris is able to synthesize both nitrogen-containing (betaine, ectoine) and nitrogen-free (trehalose) compatible solutes but the betaine pool cannot be used as a nitrogen source, not even in a situation of total nitrogen depletion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival of Escherichia coli during drying and storage in the presence of compatible solutes
TL;DR: Five different compatible solutes, sucrose, trehalose, hydroxyectoine, ectoine, and glycine betaine, were investigated for their protective effect on Escherichia coli K12 and E. coli NISSLE 1917 during drying and subsequent storage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Industrial Production of the Cell Protectant Ectoine: Protection Mechanisms, Processes, and Products
TL;DR: The aspartate derivative ectoine is a wide spread compatible solute in Bacteria and possesses additional protective properties compared with other compatible solutes, and stabilizes even whole cells against stresses such as UV radiation or cytotoxins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mannitol, a novel bacterial compatible solute in Pseudomonas putida S12.
TL;DR: This is the first study demonstrating a principal role for the de novo-synthesized polyol mannitol in osmoadaptation of a heterotrophic eubacterium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of the synthetic compatible solute homoectoine as a potent PCR enhancer
Michael Schnoor,Peter Voss,Paul Cullen,Thomas Böking,Hans-Joachim Galla,Erwin A. Galinski,Stefan Lorkowski +6 more
TL;DR: Compatible solutes, especially homoectoine, enhanced PCR amplification of GC-rich DNA (72.6% GC content; effective range: 0.1-0.5M), and the ability to decrease the melting temperature was greatest for homoECToine, a new synthetic derivative of l-ectoine.
