Protein and DNA sequence determinants of thermophilic adaptation [PDF]
, 2006 Prokaryotes living at extreme environmental temperatures exhibit pronounced signatures in the amino acid composition of their proteins and nucleotide compositions of their genomes reflective of adaptation to their thermal environments. However, despite significant efforts, the definitive answer of what are the genomic and proteomic compositional ...

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.Targeted genome mining identified thermostable enzymes (PETases) that hydrolyze the commonly used plastic polymer polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Thermostable enzymes are identified from thermophilic microbial sources. Experimental results reveal enzymatic activity on authentic PET films, highlighting potential for industrial application.

How Quickly Do Proteins Fold and Unfold, and What Structural Parameters Correlate with These Values?
Biomolecules, 2020 The correlations between the logarithm of the unfolding rate of 108 proteins and their structural parameters were calculated. We showed that there is a good correlation between the logarithm of folding and unfolding rates (0.79) and protein stability and

A genus in the bacterial phylum Aquificota appears to be endemic to Aotearoa-New Zealand
Nature CommunicationsAllopatric speciation has been difficult to examine among microorganisms, with prior reports of endemism restricted to sub-genus level taxa. Previous microbial community analysis via 16S rRNA gene sequencing of 925 geothermal springs from the Taupō ...

Characterization of Moderately Thermophilic Bacteria Isolated from Saline Hot Spring in Japan
Microbiology Indonesia, 2011 Twelve strains of moderately thermophilic bacteria were isolated from saline hot springs (55°C, pH 8.3) located in Odaito, Hokkaido, Japan. Based on their 16S rRNA gene sequences, all the strains were closely related phylogenetically each other ...
