Description
2(alpha-D-mannosyl)-D-glycerate is a member of the chemical class known as Hexoses. These are monosaccharides in which the sugar unit is a hexose. Mannosylglycerate (MG) is a common compatible solute found in thermophilic and hyperthermophilic prokaryotes. (PMID 15205409 ) Rubrobacter xylanophilus is the only Gram-positive bacterium known to synthesize the compatible solute mannosylglycerate (MG), which is commonly found in hyperthermophilic archaea and some thermophilic bacteria. (PMID 18678952 ) Rubrobacter xylanophilus is the only actinobacterium known to accumulate the organic solute mannosylglycerate (MG); moreover, the accumulation of MG is constitutive. (PMID 21166895 )
