Electrotransformation of Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus JW200 [PDF]
Electrotransformation of Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus JW200 was achieved using the plasmid, pTE16, and a pUC-based suicide vector, pTEA2. The construct pTE16 is based on the Escherichia coli-Clostridium perfringens shuttle vector pJIR715 and contains a thermostable chloramphenicol (Cm) resistance cassette.

Analysis of a Clostridium difficile PCR ribotype 078 100 kilobase island reveals the presence of a novel transposon, Tn6164. [PDF]
Clostridium difficile is the main cause of antibiotic associated diarrhea. In the past decade, the number of C. difficile patients has increased dramatically, coinciding with the emergence of two PCR ribotypes 027 and 078.

Cysteine reactivity in Thermoanaerobacter brockii alcohol dehydrogenase [PDF]
AbstractThe free cysteine residues in the extremely thermophilic Thermoanaerobacter brockii alcohol dehydrogenase (TBADH) were characterized using selective chemical modification with the stable nitroxyl biradical bis(1‐oxy‐2,2,5,5‐tetramethyl‐3‐imidazoline‐4‐yl)disulfide, via a thiol‐disulfide exchange reaction and with 2[14C]iodoacetic acid, via S ...

Thermal Stability of Glucokinases inThermoanaerobacter tengcongensis [PDF]
In the genome ofThermoanaerobacter tengcongensis, three genes belonging to ROK (Repressor, ORF, and Kinase) family are annotated as glucokinases (GLKs). Using enzyme assays, the three GLKs were identified as ATP-dependent GLK (ATP-GLK), ADP-dependent GLK (ADP-GLK), and N-acetyl-glucosamine/mannosamine kinase (glu/man-NacK).

A fluorescent reporter system for anaerobic thermophiles
Owing to their inherent capacity to make invisible biological processes visible and quantifiable, fluorescent reporter systems have numerous applications in biotechnology. For classical fluorescent protein systems (i.e., GFP and derivatives), chromophore

CO Metabolism in the Thermophilic Acetogen Thermoanaerobacter kivui [PDF]
ABSTRACT The thermophilic acetogenic bacterium Thermoanaerobacter kivui , previously described not to use carbon monoxide as a carbon and energy source, was adapted to grow on CO. This was achieved by using a preculture grown on H 2 plus CO 2 and by ...
