“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 ReportsThermophiles 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 MicrobiologyExtreme 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 ...

Metagenomics of Thermophiles with a Focus on Discovery of Novel Thermozymes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Microbial populations living in environments with temperatures above 50ºC (thermophiles) have been widely studied, increasing our knowledge in the composition and function of these ecological communities. Since these populations express a broad number of

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

Cellulases from Thermophiles Found by Metagenomics
Microorganisms, 2018 Cellulases are a heterogeneous group of enzymes that synergistically catalyze the hydrolysis of cellulose, the major component of plant biomass. Such reaction has biotechnological applications in a broad spectrum of industries, where they can provide a ...
