Transfer of transposon Tn916 from Bacillus subtilis to Thermus aquaticus [PDF]
Broad host range conjugating transposon Tn916 has been introduced into the extreme thermophile Thermus by transposon transformation and transposition into the Bacillus subtilis chromosome followed by broth mating with Thermus aquaticus ATCC27634. Tetracycline resistant Thermus transconjugants were obtained at a frequency of 1.4 X 10(-7) per donor and 1.

CarD uses a minor groove wedge mechanism to stabilize the RNA polymerase open promoter complex
A key point to regulate gene expression is at transcription initiation, and activators play a major role. CarD, an essential activator in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is found in many bacteria, including Thermus species, but absent in Escherichia coli. To

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 ...

Structure of a bacterial RNA polymerase holoenzyme open promoter complex
Initiation of transcription is a primary means for controlling gene expression. In bacteria, the RNA polymerase (RNAP) holoenzyme binds and unwinds promoter DNA, forming the transcription bubble of the open promoter complex (RPo).

Unconventional lateral gene transfer in extreme thermophilic bacteria. [PDF]
Conjugation and natural competence are two major mechanisms that explain the acquisition of foreign genes throughout bacterial evolution. In recent decades, several studies in model organisms have revealed in great detail the steps involved in such ...

A simple and efficient method for extraction of Taq DNA polymerase
Background: Thermostable DNA polymerase (Taq Pol Ι) from Thermus aquaticus has been widely used in PCR, which was usually extracted with Pluthero's method.

Solid‐Phase Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Peptides ADP‐Ribosylated at Histidine
We report the preparation of ribofuranosylated Fmoc‐histidine building blocks via a Mukaiyama‐type glycosylation. These building blocks were used in solid‐phase peptide synthesis, followed by on‐resin pyrophosphate construction and deprotection to access peptides containing N(τ)‐ and N(π)‐ADP‐ribosylated histidine.

The upper temperature for life – where do we draw the line? [PDF]
The newly isolated hyperthermophilic archaeal strain 121 grows slowly at 121 8C and even survives short periods at 130 8C. This is another organism that grows best at temperatures well in excess of 100 8C!
