The most predominant solutes detected within a wide range of marine and halophilic micro-organisms were two recently discovered tetrahydropyrimidines ectoine and hydroxyectoine, which were synthesized in response to osmotic stress., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-138-8-1629
