ectoine has importance in dermopharmacy as anti ageing agents in skin creams, as components of shampoo, for oral care and as adjuvants for vaccines
biotechnology
inducible recombinant enzyme expression in Escherichia coli confers the capability to grow on high concentration of osmolytes by increasing the osmotolerance via L-ectoine production
industry
the engineered Escherichia coli strain has potential industrial application since it produces ectoine at high rates and can avoid the complex down streaming process associated with the conventional bioprocess
