Adaptive laboratory evolution of a thermophile toward a reduced growth temperature optimum

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Thermophily is an ancient trait among microorganisms. The molecular principles to sustain high temperatures, however, are often described as adaptations, somewhat implying that they evolved from a non-thermophilic background and that thermophiles, i.e ...

Comparative analysis of thermophilic and mesophilic proteins using Protein Energy Networks

BMC Bioinformatics, 2010
Background Thermophilic proteins sustain themselves and function at higher temperatures. Despite their structural and functional similarities with their mesophilic homologues, they show enhanced stability.

A hot origin of dissimilatory sulfite reduction catalyzed by DsrAB in the Paleoarchean Era. [PDF]

mLife
Abstract Dissimilatory sulfite reduction (DSR) has been essential to microbial energy metabolism in the biogeochemical sulfur cycle since the Paleoarchean Era. However, due to the lack of an integrated assessment of geological record and genomic data, the evolutionary origin of DSR remains elusive in terms of time, habitat, and genetic basis.

PCA‐Based Database Mining Enables the Discovery of Bacterial Carbene Transferases for Stereodivergent Cyclopropanation

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 10, 2 March 2026.
Database mining using principal component analysis (PCA)‐based clustering enabled discovery of bacterial enzymes capable of catalyzing stereodivergent cyclopropanation of styrene. Statistical analyses of sequence data further revealed characteristic structural properties of these enzymes, highlighting the potential of the bioinformatics tools for ...

Genetic Tools and Techniques for Recombinant Expression in Thermophilic Bacillaceae

Microorganisms, 2018
Although Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis are the most prominent bacterial hosts for recombinant protein production by far, additional species are being explored as alternatives for production of difficult-to-express proteins.

Identification of the Genes Related to the Glycogen Metabolism in Hyperthermophilic Archaeon, Sulfolobus acidocaldarius

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Glycogen is a polysaccharide that comprises α-1,4-linked glucose backbone and α-1,6-linked glucose polymers at the branching points. It is widely found in organisms ranging from bacteria to eukaryotes.

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.
