SnapShot: Microbial Extremophiles
Cell, 2020 Extremophiles are remarkable examples of life's resilience, thriving in hot springs at boiling temperatures, in brine lakes saturated with salt, and in the driest deserts. We review the biogeography, currently known limits of life, and molecular adaptations to extremes. See the online interactive map for additional detail on biogeography, environmental

Amylomaltases in Extremophilic Microorganisms [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2021 Amylomaltases (4-α-glucanotransferases, E.C. 2.4.1.25) are enzymes which can perform a double-step catalytic process, resulting in a transglycosylation reaction. They hydrolyse glucosidic bonds of α-1,4′-d-glucans and transfer the glucan portion with the newly available anomeric carbon to the 4′-position of an α-1,4′-d-glucan acceptor.
