Insight into the evolution of microbial metabolism from the deep-branching bacterium, Thermovibrio ammonificans

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Anaerobic thermophiles inhabit relic environments that resemble the early Earth. However, the lineage of these modern organisms co-evolved with our planet.

Screening and characterization of thermostable enzyme-producing bacteria from selected hot springs of Ethiopia

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
Hot springs are potential sources of diverse arrays of microbes and their thermostable hydrolytic enzymes. Water and sediment samples were collected from three hot springs of Ethiopia and enriched on nutrient and thermus agar media to isolate pure ...

Regulation of Multiple Carbon Monoxide Consumption Pathways in Anaerobic Bacteria

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2011
Carbon monoxide (CO), well known as a toxic gas, is increasingly recognized as a key metabolite and signaling molecule. Microbial utilization of CO is quite common, evidenced by the rapid escalation in description of new species of CO-utilizing bacteria ...

Taxonomic Diversity and Antimicrobial Potential of Thermophilic Bacteria from Two Extreme Algerian Hot Springs

open access: yesMicroorganisms
This study investigated thermophilic bacterial communities from two Algerian hot springs: Hammam Debagh (94–98 °C), recognized as the second hottest spring in the world, and Hammam Bouhadjar (61–72 °C), one of the hottest in northwest Algeria.

Evidence for horizontal gene transfer of anaerobic carbon monoxide dehydrogenases

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Carbon monoxide (CO) is commonly known as a toxic gas, yet it is used by both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and many archaea. In this study, we determined the prevalence of anaerobic carbon monoxide dehydrogenases (anaerobic CODHs, or [Ni,Fe]-CODHs) in ...

Microbial communities associated with wet flue gas desulfurization systems

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems are employed to remove SOx gasses that are produced by the combustion of coal for electric power generation, and consequently limit acid rain associated with these activities. Wet FGDs represent a physicochemically

Novel thermophilic genera Geochorda gen. nov. and Carboxydochorda gen. nov. from the deep terrestrial subsurface reveal the ecophysiological diversity in the class Limnochordia

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
The class Limnochordia harbors a single cultivated member, the mesophilic Limnochorda pilosa, which was isolated from a meromictic lake. Despite numerous molecular signatures reported in various ecosystems, the ecophysiological versatility of this deeply
