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

Complete genome sequence of Meiothermus silvanus type strain (VI-R2). [PDF]
Meiothermus silvanus (Tenreiro et al. 1995) Nobre et al. 1996 belongs to a thermophilic genus whose members share relatively low degrees of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity.

Microbial communities and arsenic biogeochemistry at the outflow of an alkaline sulfide-rich hot spring. [PDF]
Alkaline sulfide-rich hot springs provide a unique environment for microbial community and arsenic (As) biogeochemistry. In this study, a representative alkaline sulfide-rich hot spring, Zimeiquan in the Tengchong geothermal area, was chosen to study ...

Sequence of the hyperplastic genome of the naturally competent
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]
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

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 ...

Recognition of two distinct elements in the RNA substrate by the RNA-binding domain of the T. thermophilus DEAD box helicase Hera [PDF]
DEAD box helicases catalyze the ATP-dependent destabilization of RNA duplexes. Whereas duplex separation is mediated by the helicase core shared by all members of the family, flanking domains often contribute to binding of the RNA substrate.
