Glutamine synthetase 2 is not essential for biosynthesis of compatible solutes in Halobacillus halophilus

Halobacillus halophilus, a moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from salt marshes, produces various compatible solutes to cope with osmotic stress. Glutamate and glutamine are dominant compatible solutes at mild salinities. Glutamine synthetase activity in cell suspensions of H. halophilus wild...
