Characterization of Biosynthetic Enzymes for Ectoine as a Compatible Solute in a Moderately Halophilic Eubacterium, Halomonas elongata

1,4,5,6-Tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid (ectoine) is an excellent osmoprotectant. The biosynthetic pathway of ectoine from aspartic β-semialdehyde (ASA), in Halomonas elongata, was elucidated by purification and characterization of each enzyme involved. 2,4-Diaminobutyrate (DABA) ami...
