Growth models of Thermus aquaticus and Thermus scotoductus

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2012
Members of the genus Thermus family are signifiant producers of secondary metabolites, which are very commonly used in industry. Beside the productivity, it is also important to study the growth curve of each strain.

Transformation of Thermus Species by Natural Competence [PDF]

Bio-Protocol, 2016
Many Thermus species harbour genomes scourged with horizontally transferred signatures. Thermus thermophilus (Tth) has been characterized as naturally competent.

Thermus and the Pink Discoloration Defect in Cheese

mSystems, 2016
A DNA sequencing-based strategy was applied to study the microbiology of Continental-type cheeses with a pink discoloration defect. The basis for this phenomenon has remained elusive, despite decades of research.

Into the Thermus Mobilome: Presence, Diversity and Recent Activities of Insertion Sequences Across Thermus spp. [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2019
A high level of transposon-mediated genome rearrangement is a common trait among microorganisms isolated from thermal environments, probably contributing to the extraordinary genomic plasticity and horizontal gene transfer (HGT) observed in these ...

DNA Relatedness of Thermus Strains, Description of Thermus brockianus sp. nov., and Proposal To Reestablish Thermus thermophilus (Oshima and Imahori) [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1995
Aerobic, thermophilic, gram-negative bacteria obtained from Yellowstone National Park that were placed in the genus Thermus on the basis of phenotypic data were examined by chemotaxonomic techniques to determine their peptidoglycan compositions, their respiratory quinones, their mean DNA base compositions, and their levels of DNA-DNA homology as ...

Chemotaxonomic and Molecular-Genetic Studies of the Genus Thermus: Evidence for a Phylogenetic Relationship of Thermus aquaticus and Thermus ruber to the Genus Deinococcus [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1986
For a detailed pheno- and genotypic characterization of the genus Thermus, the following seven representative strains were analyzed: Three extremely thermophilic strains (optimal temperature for growth, 65 to 75°C), Thermus aquaticus DSM 625, “Thermus flavus” DSM 674, and “Thermus thermophilus” DSM 579; and four moderately thermophilic strains (optimal

Distribution of arsenite-oxidizing bacteria and its correlation with environmental factors in geothermal areas of Tengchong, Yunnan, China [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2019
Arsenic (As) is an ubiquitous constituent in geothermal water. Arsenite (AsIII) is oxidized via microbial processes as the waters equilibrate with oxygen in the geothermal effluent.

Comparative genomics of Thermus thermophilus and Deinococcus radiodurans: divergent routes of adaptation to thermophily and radiation resistance

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2005
Background Thermus thermophilus and Deinococcus radiodurans belong to a distinct bacterial clade but have remarkably different phenotypes. T. thermophilus is a thermophile, which is relatively sensitive to ionizing radiation and desiccation, whereas D ...

Sequence of the hyperplastic genome of the naturally competent Thermus scotoductus SA-01

BMC Genomics, 2011
Background Many strains of Thermus have been isolated from hot environments around the world. Thermus scotoductus SA-01 was isolated from fissure water collected 3.2 km below surface in a South African gold mine.

Properties and crystal structure of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase from Thermus thermophilus HB8. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is one of the enzymes involved in homocysteine metabolism. Despite considerable genetic and clinical attention, the reaction mechanism and regulation of this enzyme are not fully understood because of difficult
