Origins of Thermophilicity in Endoglucanases [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2010
Endoglucanases are involved in the initial stages of cellulose breakdown--an essential step in the bioprocessing of lignocellulosic plant materials into bioethanol. Although these enzymes are economically important, we currently lack a basic understanding of how some endoglucanases can sustain their ability to function at elevated temperatures needed ...

Thermophiles; or, the Modern Prometheus: The Importance of Extreme Microorganisms for Understanding and Applying Extracellular Electron Transfer

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Approximately four billion years ago, the first microorganisms to thrive on earth were anaerobic chemoautotrophic thermophiles, a specific group of extremophiles that survive and operate at temperatures ∼50 – 125°C and do not use molecular oxygen (O2 ...

Efficient Genome Editing of a Facultative Thermophile Using Mesophilic spCas9

ACS Synthetic Biology, 2017
Well-developed genetic tools for thermophilic microorganisms are scarce, despite their industrial and scientific relevance. Whereas highly efficient CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing is on the rise in prokaryotes, it has never been employed in a ...

Microbial diversity in the deep-subsurface hydrothermal aquifer feeding the giant gypsum crystal-bearing Naica mine, Mexico

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013
The Naica mine in Northern Mexico is famous for its giant gypsum crystals, which may reach up to 11 m long and contain fluid inclusions that might have captured microorganisms during their formation.

Anaerobic carboxydotrophic bacteria in geothermal springs identified using stable isotope probing

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a potential energy and carbon source for thermophilic bacteria in geothermal environments. Geothermal sites ranging in temperature from 45–65°C were investigated for the presence and activity of anaerobic CO-oxidizing bacteria ...

Isolation and Characterization of Genes Responsible for Naphthalene Degradation from Thermophilic Naphthalene Degrader, Geobacillus sp. JF8

Microorganisms, 2019
Geobacillus sp. JF8 is a thermophilic biphenyl and naphthalene degrader. To identify the naphthalene degradation genes, cis-naphthalene dihydrodiol dehydrogenase was purified from naphthalene-grown cells, and its N-terminal amino acid sequence was ...
