Abstract Background The halophilic bacterium Chromohalobacter salexigens has been
proposed as promising cell factory for the production of the compatible solutes ectoine and …

Aims: A major problem in industrial fermentation of organic acids with micro‐organisms is to
ensure a suitable pH in the culture broth. To circumvent this problem, we investigated the …

Purpose To characterize the osmoprotective properties of L-carnitine on human corneal
epithelial cell volume and apoptosis during hyperosmotic stress. Methods Human corneal …

The increasing commercial demand for L-carnitine has led to a multiplication of efforts to
improve its production with bacteria. The use of different cell environments, such as growing …

Carnitine exists in all living organisms where it plays diverse roles. In animals and yeast, it is
implicated in lipid metabolism and is also associated with oxidative stress tolerance. In …

Carnitine is an essential quaternary ammonium amino acid that occurs in the microbial,
plant and animal kingdoms. The role and synthesis of this compound are very well …

Candida glabrata, a multi-vitamin auxotrophic yeast, can accumulate a large amount of
pyruvate extracellularly using glucose as the carbon source, a characteristic that has …

A salt-tolerant bacterium was isolated from the surface soil of a pharmaceutical factory,
which could efficiently decolorize azo dyes. The strain was identified as Exiguobacterium sp …

Phacidium infestans (synonym Gremmenia infestans) is a significant pathogen that impacts
Pinus species across the northern regions of Europe and Asia. This study introduces the …

The aim of this work was to understand the relevance of central carbon metabolism in salt
stress adaptation of Escherichia coli. The cells were grown anaerobically in batch and …
