Distinction between osmoprotectants and compatible solutes

[edit]

A distinction is made between osmoprotectants and compatible solutes:

  • effective osmoprotectants = "efficient at increasing cytoplasmic osmolality, and growth rate"; and
  • compatible solutes = "without deleterious effects on biopolymer functions, including stability and activity".
