Halobacillus halophilus switches its osmolyte strategy from glutamine/glutamate at moderate salinities to proline at high salinities. Upon an increase of salinity of the growth medium the intracellular glutamine/glutamate pool increases. When the glutamate concentration reaches a critical concentration it effectively triggers the transcription of the pro-genes and, therefore, proline production.
