Phenotypic Characterization of Pectinase-Producing Alkaliphilic Microbial Isolates From Lake Bogoria, Baringo County, Kenya. [PDF]
Four alkaliphilic microbial isolates were screened, and all were found to produce alkaline pectinases. All the pectinase‐producers were identified as Bacillus halodurans. ABSTRACT Alkaline pectinases are in demand in industrial processes that require the degradation of plant pectins at high pH, for example, removal of pectin stains from fabrics ...

5-Thiohistidine N-Acetyltransferase from Proteiniphilum Saccharofermentans. [PDF]
Proteiniphilum saccharofermentans, a Gram‐negative facultative anaerobe, produces an N‐acetyl transferase (5THNAT) that acetylates 5‐thiohistidine using acetyl‐CoA. This reaction competes with OvoC‐mediated Nπ‐methylation of the same substrate.

The Halophile Protein Database [PDF]
Halophilic archaea/bacteria adapt to different salt concentration, namely extreme, moderate and low. These type of adaptations may occur as a result of modification of protein structure and other changes in different cell organelles. Thus proteins may play an important role in the adaptation of halophilic archaea/bacteria to saline conditions.

Exploring Ectoine Production From Methanol, Formate, and Electrochemically Produced Formate by <i>Methyloligella halotolerans</i>. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Microbial synthesis using renewable C1‐carbon sources like electrochemically produced formate (e‐formate) represents a promising approach for climate‐neutral chemical production. This study investigates formate utilization for ectoine biosynthesis by the halophilic methylotroph Methyloligella halotolerans.
