Application
Ectoine: A Cyclic Tetrahydropyrimidine Organic Osmolyte
Ectoine is a cyclic tetrahydropyrimidine organic osmolyte, which was first isolated from an extremely halophilic species of the bacterial genus Ectothiorhodospira. Research literature has shown that ectoine protects the cellular membrane from damage caused by extremeo smotic stress.
