Anaerobic Thermophiles [PDF]

Life, 2014
The term “extremophile” was introduced to describe any organism capable of living and growing under extreme conditions. With the further development of studies on microbial ecology and taxonomy, a variety of “extreme” environments have been found and an ...

Adaptive Response of Thermophiles to Redox Stress and Their Role in the Process of dye Degradation From Textile Industry Wastewater

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Release of dye-containing textile wastewater into the environment causes severe pollution with serious consequences on aquatic life. Bioremediation of dyes using thermophilic microorganisms has recently attracted attention over conventional treatment ...

Soil Thermophiles and Their Extracellular Enzymes: A Set of Capabilities Able to Provide Significant Services and Risks

Microorganisms, 2023
During this century, a number of reports have described the potential roles of thermophiles in the upper soil layers during high-temperature periods. This study evaluates the capabilities of these microorganisms and proposes some potential consequences ...

“Freezing” Thermophiles: From One Temperature Extreme to Another

Microorganisms, 2022
New detections of thermophiles in psychrobiotic (i.e., bearing cold-tolerant life forms) marine and terrestrial habitats including Arctic marine sediments, Antarctic accretion ice, permafrost, and elsewhere are continually being reported.

Genomic and metabolic network properties in thermophiles and psychrophiles compared to mesophiles [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Thermophiles and psychrophiles, adapted to extreme temperatures, thrive in hot and cold environments, respectively. Despite their importance to biotechnology and environmental research, their adaptation mechanisms remain unclear.

Extreme thermal environments: reservoirs of industrially important thermozymes [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Extreme thermal environments, both natural (e.g., hot springs, fumaroles, geysers, mud pots, deep-sea hydrothermal vents) and man-made (e.g., compost heaps, sawdust, coal refuse piles), are rich sources of thermophilic microorganisms, including Bacteria ...

Comparative genomic analysis of thermophilic fungi reveals convergent evolutionary adaptations and gene losses [PDF]

Communications Biology
Thermophily is a trait scattered across the fungal tree of life, with its highest prevalence within three fungal families (Chaetomiaceae, Thermoascaceae, and Trichocomaceae), as well as some members of the phylum Mucoromycota. We examined 37 thermophilic

Genome-scale identification and comparative analysis of transcription factors in thermophilic cyanobacteria [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background The transcription factors (TFs) in thermophilic cyanobacteria might represent a uniquely evolved gene repertoire in light of the strong selective pressure caused by hostile habitats.

Diversity of culturable thermophilic bacteria from Tata Pani hotspring of Kotli Azad Jammu and Kashmir [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023
Hot water springs are unique areas populated by mesophiles, thermotolerant and hyperthermophiles. They are the source of diversity of thermophiles, mainly belonging to archaea and bacteria domains.
