Airborne Halophilic and Non-Halophilic Microbial Communities in an Underground Salt Mine Affected by Seasonal Environmental Fluctuations. [PDF]
This study tests seasonal controls on airborne microbes in the UNESCO‐listed Bochnia Salt Mine. In summer, relative humidity exceeded the halite deliquescence threshold, coinciding with higher NaCl aerosol and greater densities of halophilic microbes; in winter, humidity stayed below deliquescence and halophilic microbes declined at least 13‐fold while

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.

Microbial Influence on the Mobility of +3 Actinides from a Salt-Based Nuclear Waste Repository
Biologically enhanced transport of radionuclides is one of several processes that can affect the performance of a nuclear waste repository. In this work, several microbial isolates from the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) were tested for their ...
