A DING phosphatase in Thermus thermophilus
Phosphate transport in bacteria occurs via a phosphate specific transporter system (PSTS) that belongs to the ABC family of transporters, a multisubunit system, containing an alkaline phosphatase. DING proteins were characterized due to the N-terminal amino acid sequence DINGG GATL, which is highly conserved in animal and plant isolates, but more ...

Thermus silvanus sp. nov. and Thermus chliarophilus sp. nov., Two New Species Related to Thermus ruber but with Lower Growth Temperatures [PDF]
Strains of Thermus silvanus sp. nov. and strains of Thermus chliarophilus sp. nov. were isolated from the hot spring at Vizela in northern Portugal and the hot spring at Alcafache in central Portugal, respectively. The strains of T. silvanus produce orange-red-pigmented colonies and have an optimum growth temperature of about 55 degrees C, while the ...

Transition from Baryonic to Mesonic Freeze-Out [PDF]
The recently discovered sharp peak in the K+/pi+ ratio is discussed in the framework of the statistical model. In this model a rapid change is expected as the hadronic gas undergoes a transition from a baryon-dominated to a meson-dominated gas.

Into the Thermus Mobilome: Presence, Diversity and Recent Activities of Insertion Sequences Across Thermus spp. [PDF]
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 habitats. In this work, active and inactive insertion sequences (ISs) spanning the sequenced members of the

Genetic transformation of the extreme thermophile Thermus thermophilus and of other Thermus spp
Genetic transformation of auxotrophs of the extreme thermophile Thermus thermophilus HB27 to prototrophy was obtained at high frequencies of 10(-2) to 10(-1) when proliferating cell populations were exposed to chromosomal DNA from a nutritionally independent wild-type strain.

Transferable Denitrification Capability of Thermus thermophilus [PDF]
ABSTRACT Laboratory-adapted strains of Thermus spp. have been shown to require oxygen for growth, including the model strains T. thermophilus HB27 and HB8. In contrast, many isolates of this species that have not been intensively grown under laboratory conditions keep the capability

THERMUS is a package of C++ classes and functions allowing statistical-thermal model analyses of particle production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions to be performed within the ROOT framework of analysis. Calculations are possible within three statistical ensembles; a grand-canonical treatment of the conserved charges $B$, $S$ and $Q$, a fully ...

Microbial community composition of transiently wetted Antarctic Dry Valley soils [PDF]
During the summer months, wet (hyporheic) soils associated with ephemeral streams and lake edges in the Antarctic Dry Valleys (DVs) become hotspots of biological activity and are hypothesized to be an important source of carbon and nitrogen for arid DV ...

Proton and cadmium adsorption by the archaeon Thermococcus zilligii: Generalising the contrast between thermophiles and mesophiles as sorbents [PDF]
Adsorption by microorganisms can play a significant role in the fate and transport of metals in natural systems. Surface complexation models (SCMs) have been applied extensively to describe metal adsorption by mesophilic bacteria, and several recent ...
