Biochemical Properties of Ectoine Hydroxylases from Extremophiles and Their Wider Taxonomic Distribution among Microorganisms

Ectoine and hydroxyectoine are well-recognized members of the compatible solutes and are widely employed by microorganisms as osmostress protectants. The EctABC enzymes catalyze the synthesis of ectoine from the precursor L-aspartate-β-semialdehyde. A subgroup of the ectoine producers can convert ec...
