The Undeniable Potential of Thermophiles in Industrial Processes

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
Extremophilic microorganisms play a key role in understanding how life on Earth originated and evolved over centuries. Their ability to thrive in harsh environments relies on a plethora of mechanisms developed to survive at extreme temperatures ...

A temperate river estuary is a sink for methanotrophs adapted to extremes of pH, temperature and salinity [PDF]

, 2016
River Tyne (UK) estuarine sediments harbour a genetically and functionally diverse community of methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs), the composition and activity of which were directly influenced by imposed environmental conditions (pH, salinity ...

Sugar transport in thermophiles: Bridging lignocellulose deconstruction and bioconversion

Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology
Biomass degrading thermophiles play an indispensable role in building lignocellulose-based supply chains. They operate at high temperatures to improve process efficiencies and minimize mesophilic contamination, can overcome lignocellulose recalcitrance ...

Thermophiles; or, the Modern Prometheus: The Importance of Extreme Microorganisms for Understanding and Applying Extracellular Electron Transfer

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Approximately four billion years ago, the first microorganisms to thrive on earth were anaerobic chemoautotrophic thermophiles, a specific group of extremophiles that survive and operate at temperatures ∼50 – 125°C and do not use molecular oxygen (O2 ...

Thermophilic lignocellulose deconstruction [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2014
Thermophilic microorganisms are attractive candidates for conversion of lignocellulose to biofuels because they produce robust, effective, carbohydrate-degrading enzymes and survive under harsh bioprocessing conditions that reflect their natural biotopes.

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.

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.

Metagenomic Analysis of Hot Springs in Central India Reveals Hydrocarbon Degrading Thermophiles and Pathways Essential for Survival in Extreme Environments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Extreme ecosystems such as hot springs are of great interest as a source of novel extremophilic species, enzymes, metabolic functions for survival and biotechnological products.

Biased amino acid composition in warm-blooded animals [PDF]

, 2009
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

Isolation of Thermophilic Actinomycetes [PDF]

Nature, 1962
To judge from reports in the literature, thermophilic Actinomycetes have proved difficult to isolate. For isolations from mouldy hay we have developed a convenient method which promises to be useful in other contexts1. The method uses the fact that dry air removes spores of the Streptomycetaceae in preference to bacteria.
