Summary: Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) have been regarded as indispensable replication factors. Herein, we report that the genes encoding the canonical SSB (SisSSB) and the non-canonical SSB (SisDBP) in Saccharolobus islandicus REY15A are ...

Unravelling the active microbial community in a thermophilic anaerobic digester-microbial electrolysis cell coupled system under different conditions [PDF]
Thermophilic anaerobic digestion (AD) of pig slurry coupled to a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) with a recirculation loop was studied at lab-scale as a strategy to increase AD stability when submitted to organic and nitrogen overloads.

CRISPR-Cas Adaptive Immune Systems of the Sulfolobales: Unravelling Their Complexity and Diversity
The Sulfolobales have provided good model organisms for studying CRISPR-Cas systems of the crenarchaeal kingdom of the archaea. These organisms are infected by a wide range of exceptional archaea-specific viruses and conjugative plasmids, and their ...

Hyperthermophilic methanogenic archaea act as high-pressure CH4 cell factories
Mauerhofer et al. examine 80 species of methanogenic archaea at high pressures and evaluate growth and methane production, identifying Methanotorris igneus and Methanocaldococcoccus jannaschii as high-pressure methane cell factories.

Structural Analysis of Polarizing Indels Argues the Root of the Tree of Life is Near the Chloroflexi [PDF]
Determining which branches of the tree of life have derived features narrows down the possible location of the root. Currently the polarization of indels done by Lake _et al_.^1-5^ and the polarizing transitions of Cavalier-Smith^6^ arrive at ...
