• This adaptation is restricted to the extremely halophilic archaeal family Halobacteriaceae, the moderately halophilic bacterial order Halanaerobiales, and the extremely halophilic bacterium Salinibacter ruber. (wikipedia.org)
  • Microorganisms belonging to the genus Chromohalobacter , for example, Chromohalobacter salexigens , have been identified as producers of biotechnologically valuable compounds and, due to their genomic characteristics, could become a useful metabolic engineering tool for the overproduction of ectoines ( 10 ).

  • Elucidating the mechanisms controlling the synthesis of hydroxyectoine is important to design novel genetic engineering strategies for optimizing the production of this biotechnologically relevant compatible solute. (bvsalud.org)
  • This study increases our overall understanding of halophilic bacteria and is also consistent with the notion that members of this group have significant potential as useful natural product producers. (jgenomics.com)
  • the organism accumulates organic compounds in the cytoplasm-osmoprotectants which are known as compatible solutes. (wikipedia.org)
  • in fact, the compatible solutes often act as more general stress protectants, as well as just osmoprotectants. (wikipedia.org)
