1. Используя методологию ПЦР (включая инвертированную и векторетную ПЦР), у галотолерантной метилотрофной альфа-протеобактерии Methylarcula marina определены нуклеотидные последовательности генов ectA, ectB, ectC, ask и предполагаемого гена-регулятора ectR. Обнаружено, что гены синтеза эктоина у Methylarcula marina локализованы в четырехгенном опероне ectABC-ask.
2. Клонированием и экспрессией гена ectA из M. marina в Escherichia coli получен элетрофоретически гомогенный препарат рекомбинантной ДАБ-ацетилтрансферазы. Определены некоторые физико-химические свойства рекомбинантной ДАБ-ацетилтрансферазы. Фермент является гомодимером с м.м. субединицы 20 кДа и проявляет максимальную активность при температуре 15°C и рН 8.0 .
3. Показано, что рекомбинантный негалофильный метилотрофный штамм Methylobacterium extorquens AM1, трансформированный плазмидой, содержащей гены ectABC из M. marina, синтезирует эктоин (75 мкг в 100 мг сухих клеток).
