Genomic context of the genes for ectoine ( ectABC ) and hydroxyectoine ( ectD ) synthesis in a number of ectoine(s) producing bacteria. Only bacteria whose genome sequence is available are included. The gene ectE of C. salexigens encodes a second putative ectoine hydroxylase. asK encodes the aspartate kinase and ectR (in C. salexigens) and araC (in B. clausii) refer to transcriptional regulators of the AraC family. The taxonomic position of the species is abbreviated as follows: A, Actinobacteria, F, Firmicute, α, β,γ, Alpha- Beta-, and Gammaproteobacteria, respectively.
