Biased amino acid composition in warm-blooded animals [PDF]
Among eubacteria and archeabacteria, amino acid composition is correlated with habitat temperatures. In particular, species living at high temperatures have proteins enriched in the amino acids E-R-K and depleted in D-N-Q-T-S-H-A. Here, we show that this

Characteristics of a Thermophilic Bacteriophage.
Summary1. A new thermophilic phage host system has been studied and described. It has been designated a thermophilic phage because the greatest number of infectious units was produced at 65°C, above or below which the number of particles was considerably less. 2. Phage is adsorbed very slowly, the maximum amount taken up being 85% in 30 minutes.

ABSTRACT Amylases are key industrial enzymes, and thermostable variants are particularly valuable for robust bioprocessing. This study investigates amylase production via solid‐state fermentation (SSF) using non‐sterile potato peel as substrate, comparing the performance of the autochthonous microbial population with that of the inoculated fungus ...

Adaptive Enrichment of a Thermophilic Bacterial Isolate for Enhanced Enzymatic Activity
The mimicking of evolution on a laboratory timescale to enhance biocatalyst specificity, substrate utilization activity, and/or product formation, is an effective and well-established approach that does not involve genetic engineering or regulatory ...

Hydrogenases catalyze reversible H2 production and are potential models for renewable energy catalysts. Here, the full redox landscape of a group 3 [NiFe]‐hydrogenase from methanothermococcus thermolithotrophicus is elucidated, resembling group 1 enzymes.

Cellulosomics of the cellulolytic thermophile Clostridium clariflavum
BackgroundClostridium clariflavum is an anaerobic, thermophilic, Gram-positive bacterium, capable of growth on crystalline cellulose as a single carbon source. The genome of C. clariflavum has been sequenced to completion, and numerous cellulosomal genes

Recent vegetation shifts in the French Alps with winners outnumbering losers
Analysing 11 million records of 4250 French Alps plant species over 30 years shows that one‐third expanded their range, dominated by thermophilic and fast‐colonizing species, while 13% declined. Most species showed little response, with potential shifts lagging behind climate change. Our study deepens our understanding of the complex dynamics of recent

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).
