Description

Ectoine is a solute that is found in bacteria and fungi. It has been shown to have a protective effect against oxidative stress in the bowel disease, ulcerative colitis. Ectoine also has an inhibitory effect on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of bacteria when it is present in high concentrations. It binds to ATP-binding cassette transporters, which are involved in the uptake of ectoine from the environment into cells. Some ectoin-producing bacteria produce other compounds such as benzalkonium chloride or solutes, which may contribute to their growth regulation.
Ectoine was first discovered by Dr. A. J. Drenth and Dr. H. Pilette in 1958 and was isolated from wild-type strains of Streptomyces albus var erythraeus
