Extremozymes as Future Appropriate Benign Elements for Eco-friendly Wet Processing of Wool and Silk

open access: yesJournal of Natural Fibers, 2022
Wool and silk are the most common protein fibers in the textile and clothing fields. They pass through many preparative and finishing wet processing, which are extensive energy and water-consuming operations.

Experimental, Genomic, and Structural Evidence Supporting Putative PET‐Hydrolases in Thermophilic Bacteria Isolated From Hot Springs in Cajamarca, Peru

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Integrated microbiological, genomic, and structural analyses of bacteria isolated from a Peruvian geothermal system reveal enzymatic potential for the transformation of polyesters such as PET. This study links experimental evidence with genomic determinants and in silico analyses that support the thermophilic bacteria biodegradation capacity.

Assaying activity and assessing thermostability of hyperthermophilic enzymes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
There is now a wide variety of intra- and extra-cellular enzymes available from organisms growing above 75°C, and having sufficient stability to allow assay well above this temperature.

Portrait of a Geothermal Spring, Hunter’s Hot Springs, Oregon

open access: yesLife, 2015
Although alkaline Hunter’s Hot Springs in southeastern Oregon has been studied extensively for over 40 years, most of these studies and the subsequent publications were before the advent of molecular methods.

Continuous Thermophilic Composting [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Microbiology, 1962
Under complete mixing conditions, aerobic decomposition of mixed organic waste materials has been maintained continuously in the thermophilic phase in a 55-gal rotating drum. Temperatures ranged between 53 and 70 C. Raw material was added daily or every second day in amounts up to 18 lb per 100 lb of decomposing material. The weight of material removed

Characteristics of a Thermophilic Bacteriophage.

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1955
Summary1. A new thermophilic phage host system has been studied and described. It has been designated a thermophilic phage because the greatest number of infectious units was produced at 65°C, above or below which the number of particles was considerably less. 2. Phage is adsorbed very slowly, the maximum amount taken up being 85% in 30 minutes.

Structure‐Guided Extremophile Genome Mining Expands the PETase Landscape and Reveals PET‐Hydrolysing True Lipase Lineages

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
Genome mining of extremophiles revealed previously unknown PET‐hydrolising true lipases. Structural and functional analyses identified determinants of dual lipase–PETase activity and expanded the repertoire of microbial biocatalysts available for sustainable PET recycling.

A Novel View on the Taxonomy of Sulfate-Reducing Bacterium ‘Desulfotomaculum salinum’ and a Description of a New Species Desulfofundulus salinus sp. nov.

open access: yesMicroorganisms
Two thermophilic spore-forming sulfate-reducing strains, 435T and 781, were isolated from oil and gas reservoirs in Western Siberia (Russia) about 50 years ago.

Advancing the Resolution of the Sulfur Compound Disproportionation Puzzle in Dissulfuribacter Thermophilus S69ᵀ Through Quantitative Label‐Free Comparative Proteomics

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
To date, only three microorganisms have been functionally characterised for sulfur disproportionation. Our work identifies a fourth example and provides novel proteomic insights into its underlying pathways. These findings advance our understanding of microbial sulfur catabolism and highlight the ecological role of D.
