Biosynthetic pathway for ectoines from aspartate in C. salexigens. The solid and dashed lines indicate established and proposed steps, respectively. The enzymes involved are Aspartate kinase (Ask), Aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (Asd), L-diaminobutyric acid transaminase (EctB), L-diaminobutyric acid acetyl transferase (EctA), ectoine synthase (EctC), and ectoine hydroxylase (EctD).
