Figure 1From: High production of ectoine from aspartate and glycerol by use of whole-cell biocatalysis in recombinant Escherichia coli Biosynthetic pathway of ectoine in H. elongata. Ask: aspartate kinase; Asd: L-aspartate-beta-semialdehyde-dehydrogenase; EctB: L-2, 4-diaminobutyric acid transaminase; EctA: DABA-N-γ-acetyltransferase; EctC: ectoine synthase; EctD: ectoine hydroxylas.Back to article page
