Journal ArticleDOI
The Kosmotropic (Structure-Forming) Effect of Compensatory Solutes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that nature's prime compensatory solutes (Betaine, ectoines, proline, N-acetylated diamino acids) strongly influence surrounding water molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protection of a model enzyme (lactate dehydrogenase) against heat, urea and freeze-thaw treatment by compatible solute additives
Karin Göller,Erwin A. Galinski +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the addition of compatible solutes (glycine betaine, hydroxyectoine) shifts the enzyme's activity curve towards higher temperature, and a method for rapid assessment of enzyme stabilisation on the basis of fluorescence measurements is evolved.
Journal Article
Discovery of extremely halophilic, methyl-reducing euryarchaea provides insights into the evolutionary origin of methanogenesis
Dimitry Y. Sorokin,Dimitry Y. Sorokin,Kira S. Makarova,Ben Abbas,Manuel Ferrer,Peter N. Golyshin,Erwin A. Galinski,Sergio Ciordia,María Carmen Mena,Alexander Y. Merkel,Yuri I. Wolf,Mark C.M. van Loosdrecht,Eugene V. Koonin +12 more
TL;DR: The discovery of extremely halophilic, methyl-reducing methanogens related to haloarchaea provides insights into the origin of methanogenesis and shows that the strategies employed by methanogen to thrive in salt-saturating conditions are not limited to the classical methylotrophic pathway as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A modified FMOC-method for the detection of amino acid-type osmolytes and tetrahydropyrimidines (ectoines)
TL;DR: In this article, high performance liquid chromatography with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC) permits detection of nitrogen-containing solutes including ectoine (1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-methyl-5-pyrimidine carbocylic acid) from halophilic eubacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sulfidogenesis under extremely haloalkaline conditions by Desulfonatronospira thiodismutans gen. nov., sp. nov., and Desulfonatronospira delicata sp. nov. - a novel lineage of Deltaproteobacteria from hypersaline soda lakes
Dimitry Y. Sorokin,Dimitry Y. Sorokin,Tatjana P. Tourova,Anne M. Henstra,Alfons J. M. Stams,Erwin A. Galinski,Gerard Muyzer +6 more
TL;DR: The acetyl-CoA pathway was identified as the pathway for inorganic carbon assimilation by strain ASO3-1 and formed a new lineage within the family Desulfohalobiaceae (Deltaproteobacteria), for which the name Desulfonatronospira gen. nov. is proposed.
