Stressed out: Bacterial response to high salinity using compatible solute biosynthesis and uptake systems, lessons from Vibrionaceae

Bacteria have evolved mechanisms that allow them to adapt to changes in osmolarity and some species have adapted to live optimally in high salinity environments such as in the marine ecosystem. Most bacteria that live in high salinity do so by the biosynthesis and/or uptake of compatible solutes, sm...

description Bacteria have evolved mechanisms that allow them to adapt to changes in osmolarity and some species have adapted to live optimally in high salinity environments such as in the marine ecosystem. Most bacteria that live in high salinity do so by the biosynthesis and/or uptake of compatible solutes, small organic molecules that maintain the turgor pressure of the cell. Osmotic stress response mechanisms and their regulation among marine heterotrophic bacteria are poorly understood. In this review, we discuss what is known about compatible solute metabolism and transport and new insights gained from studying marine bacteria belonging to the family Vibrionaceae.
