Regulatory Factors for tRNA Modifications in Extreme- Thermophilic Bacterium Thermus thermophilus

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
Thermus thermophilus is an extreme-thermophilic bacterium that can grow at a wide range of temperatures (50–83°C). To enable T. thermophilus to grow at high temperatures, several biomolecules including tRNA and tRNA modification enzymes show extreme heat-

Caldanaerobacter subterraneus subsp. keratinolyticus subsp. nov., a Novel Feather-Degrading Anaerobic Thermophile

Microorganisms
Caldanaerobacter subterraneus subsp. keratinolyticus subsp. nov. strain KAk was isolated from a geothermal hot spring located in Kazakhstan. Growth occurred at temperatures ranging from 50 to 80 °C, with approximately 70 °C as optimum. It also thrived in

Historical Factors Associated With Past Environments Influence the Biogeography of Thermophilic Endospores in Arctic Marine Sediments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Selection by the local, contemporary environment plays a prominent role in shaping the biogeography of microbes. However, the importance of historical factors in microbial biogeography is more debatable.

Influence of Growth Phase, pH, and Temperature on the Abundance and Composition of Tetraether Lipids in the Thermoacidophile Picrophilus torridus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The abundance and composition of glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) and glycerol tribiphytanyl glycerol tetraether (GTGT) lipids were determined as a function of growth phase as a proxy for nutrient availability, the pH of growth medium ...

Insight Into Interactions of Thermoacidophilic Archaea With Elemental Sulfur: Biofilm Dynamics and EPS Analysis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Biooxidation of reduced inorganic sulfur compounds (RISCs) by thermoacidophiles is of particular interest for the biomining industry and for environmental issues, e.g., formation of acid mine drainage (AMD).

Biochemical and structural properties of a thermostable mercuric ion reductase from Metallosphaera sedula

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2015
Mercuric ion reductase (MerA), a mercury detoxification enzyme, has been tuned by evolution to have high specificity for mercuric ions (Hg2+) and to catalyze their reduction to a more volatile, less toxic elemental form.

Engineering the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus for 1-propanol production

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Society relies heavily on chemicals traditionally produced through the refinement of fossil fuels. The conversion of renewable biomass to value-added chemicals by microbes, particularly hyperthermophiles (Topt ≥80°C), offers a renewable alternative to ...
