An “overlooked” habitat for thermophilic bacteria: the phyllosphere [PDF]
Thermophilic microbes are present everywhere around us and their only known natural biotope is far away and most usually associated with geothermal energy.

Cloning and Characterization of Pyridoxal Kinase from Geobacillus sp. H6a
Pyridoxal kinase encoded by pdxK gene, is the important key enzyme in the salvage pathway of vitamin B6 biosynthesis. The enzyme catalyzes the phosphorylation of the 5′ alcohol groups of free form vitamin B6 into their 5′-phosphate forms that requires ...

The structure and biosynthetic origin of the enigmatic “yellow affinity substance” (YAS) from the anaerobe thermophile Clostridium thermocellum (now: Acetivibrio thermocellus) were elucidated. YAS is a complex of unusual antibacterial arylpolyene alkaloids (celluxanthenes) that are produced by various cellulolytic anaerobes.

Thermal diffusion of ionic species in charged nanochannels [PDF]
Diffusion of ions due to temperature gradients (known as thermal diffusion) in charged nanochannels is of interest in several engineering fields, including energy recovery and environmental protection. This paper presents a fundamental investigation of the thermal diffusion of sodium chloride in charged silica nanochannels performed by molecular ...

Amino acid frequency and domain features serve well for random forest based classification of thermophilic and mesophilic protein; a case study on serine proteases [PDF]
Thermostability is an important prerequisite for enzymes employed for industrial applications. Several machine learning based models have thus been formulated for protein classification based on this particular trait. These models have employed features derived from sequences, structures or both resulting in a >93% accuracy based on a 10-fold cross ...
