Climate change (CC) and land‐use/cover change (LUCC) are threatening species worldwide, with amphibians and reptiles being particularly vulnerable. In Cilento, a highly biodiverse Mediterranean area in the southern Appenine protected by a National Park and 30 Natura 2000 Network sites, 11 amphibians and 16 reptiles could disappear in the future ...

The multidomain glycosidase MDG from the hyperthermophilic euryarchaeon Thermococcus sp. contains five protein domains: three catalytic domains (GH5, GH12‐1, and GH12‐2) and two cellulose‐binding modules (CBM2). In this study, the GH12‐1 and GH12‐2 domains were individually purified and biochemically characterized.

Of sequence and structure: Strategies of protein thermostability in evolutionary perspective [PDF]
In this work we employ various methods of analysis (unfolding simulations and comparative analysis of structures and sequences of proteomes of thermophilic organisms) to show that organisms can follow two major strategies of thermophilic adaptation: (i) General, non-specific, structure-based, when proteomes of certain thermophilic organisms show ...

Chalcopyrite bioleaching by the extreme thermoacidophile, Sulfurisphaera ohwakuensis. ABSTRACT The extremely thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfurisphaera ohwakuensis served as the basis for probing how initial pH (pHinitial) affects copper mobilization from chalcopyrite. Screening of small‐scale cultures (75 mL) at 75°C revealed that ~pH 3.0 was a maximal

Brewer's spent grain: Unveiling innovative applications in the food and packaging industry
Abstract Brewer's spent grain, a byproduct of beer brewing, is often discarded as waste, leading to environmental concerns. However, the growing interest in sustainability and the circular bioeconomy has prompted research into its use in food and packaging industries.

A Survey of Protein Structures from Archaeal Viruses
Viruses that infect the third domain of life, Archaea, are a newly emerging field of interest. To date, all characterized archaeal viruses infect archaea that thrive in extreme conditions, such as halophilic, hyperthermophilic, and methanogenic ...

Abstract Epiphytic lichens are especially threatened by accelerated climatic change at high elevations. All lichens are sensitive to atmospheric conditions. Treelines constrain epiphyte ability to migrate upward to follow suitable conditions. Thus, acclimation to changing conditions will likely determine their survival.

Entropic stabilization of proteins and its proteomic consequences [PDF]
We report here a new entropic mechanism of protein thermostability due to residual dynamics of rotamer isomerization in native state. All-atom simulations show that Lysines have much greater number of accessible rotamers than Arginines in folded states of proteins.
