1. An ectoine-producing recombinant yeast, in the genome of which:
(A) (i) at least one nucleic acid encoding an aspartokinase is overexpressed and/or is under the control of an inducible or repressible promoter; and/or
(ii) at least one nucleic acid encoding an aspartate kinase is overexpressed and/or is under the control of an inducible or repressible promoter; and
(B) at least one nucleic acid encoding an aspartate semi-aldehyde dehydrogenase that can use as coenzyme both NAD and NADP is overexpressed and/or is under the control of an inducible or repressible promoter; and
(C) at least one nucleic acid encoding a diaminobutyrate aminotransferase is overexpressed and/or is under the control of an inducible or repressible promoter; and
(D) (i) at least one nucleic acid encoding an homoserine-O-acetyltransferase METX is overexpressed and/or is under the control of an inducible or repressible promoter that is heterologous from the nucleic acid encoding METX, and
(ii) at least one nucleic acid encoding a diaminobutyric acid acetyltransferase is overexpressed and/or is under the control of an inducible or repressible promoter; and
(E) at least one nucleic acid encoding an ectoine synthase is overexpressed and/or is under the control of an inducible or repressible promoter; and
(F) (i) at least one endogenous nucleic acid encoding an homoserine dehydrogenase has been deleted and/or interrupted, and/or
(ii) at least one nucleic acid encoding a homoserine dehydrogenase is:
under the control of an inducible or repressible promoter;
under the control of a weak promoter; and/or
the homoserine dehydrogenase is degron-tagged.
