Figure 9From: Regulation of osmoadaptation in the moderate halophile Halobacillus halophilus: chloride, glutamate and switching osmolyte strategiesThe Hofmeister series. The Hofmeister series describes the potential of ions (here anions) to stabilize or denature proteins in solution. In this series (modified to the original Hofmeister series [84]) glutamate- possesses a more stabilizing effect than Cl- which is used by Halobacillus halophilus for regulatory purposes.Back to article page
