Halophilic bacteria and their compatible solutes – osmoregulation and potential applications
Halophilic bacteria grow over an extended range of salt concentrations. Their metabolic patterns are distinct compared to their terrestrial counterparts and obligate halophiles. The possibility of rapid adjustment to changes in the external salt concentration makes them potential candidates for bioprocessing. Halophilic bacteria produce enzymes, metabolites, solutes, exopolysaccharides and pigm...
متن کاملOrganic compatible solutes of halotolerant and halophilic microorganisms
Microorganisms that adapt to moderate and high salt environments use a variety of solutes, organic and inorganic, to counter external osmotic pressure. The organic solutes can be zwitterionic, noncharged, or anionic (along with an inorganic cation such as K(+)). The range of solutes, their diverse biosynthetic pathways, and physical properties of the solutes that effect molecular stability are ...
متن کاملThe spectrum of compatible solutes in heterotrophic halophilic eubacteria of the family Halomonadaceae
A new family, the Hafomonadaceae, has recently been proposed for members of the genera Deleya and Halornonas. The three strains investigated, Deleya haiuphila, Halomonas elongata and Flavobacterium halmephilum (reclassified as H. hahophila), are aerobic heterotrophic micro-organisms exhibiting an extreme salt tolerance. The major organic osmoregulatory solutes of these organisms were examined u...
متن کاملCompatible solutes and fungal development.
Compatible solutes are components that can be quickly accumulated and degraded inside fungal cells. They do not disturb the functioning of proteins and protect the cell under adverse conditions. In this issue of the Biochemical Journal, Solomon and co-workers evaluate the role of mannitol, one of these components, in Stagonospora nodorum, a plant-pathogenic fungus, and find surprising effects o...
متن کاملProtein stabilization by compatible solutes
Heteronuclear NMR relaxation measurements and hydrogen exchange data have been used to characterize protein dynamics in the presence or absence of stabilizing solutes from hyperthermophiles. Rubredoxin from Desulfovibrio gigas was selected as a model protein and the effect of diglycerol phosphate on its dynamic behaviour was studied. The presence of 100 mM diglycerol phosphate induces a fourfol...
