Hydroxyectoin is an ectoine used by many halophilic microorganisms to protect themselves against the extreme salt and temperature conditions in their natural environment. Ectoines have been shown to stabilize proteins, nucleic acids, membranes, and cells. They do not interfere with enzymatic and binding reactions and are highly compatible with cell metabolism.
