A deeply branching thermophilic bacterium with an ancient acetyl-CoA pathway dominates a subsurface ecosystem [PDF]

PLOS ONE, 2012
A nearly complete genome sequence of Candidatus ‘Acetothermum autotrophicum’, a presently uncultivated bacterium in candidate division OP1, was revealed by metagenomic analysis of a subsurface thermophilic microbial mat community.

Thermus thermophilus as a Source of Thermostable Lipolytic Enzymes [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2015
Lipolytic enzymes, esterases (EC 3.1.1.1) and lipases (EC 3.1.1.3), catalyze the hydrolysis of ester bonds between alcohols and carboxylic acids, and its formation in organic media.

Transferable denitrification capability of thermus thermophilus [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2014
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

NMR Solution Structure of the N-Terminal GSPII Domain from the Thermus Thermophilus Traffic ATPase PilF and Reconstruction of its c-di-GMP Binding Capability. [PDF]

Chembiochem
GSPII‐A is the first of three consecutive GSPII domains of PilF from Thermus thermophilus and the only one that does not bind c‐di‐GMP. In this study we solve the structure of GSPII‐A and show the key factors hindering c‐di‐GMP binding. Through mutagenesis, we elucidate the minimal motif conservation needed for c‐di‐GMP recognition. Abstract The cyclic

Thermus thermophilus genome analysis: benefits and implications [PDF]

Microbial Cell Factories, 2004
The genome sequence analysis of Thermus thermophilus HB27, a microorganism with high biotechnological potential, has recently been published. In that report, the chromosomal and the megaplasmid sequence were compared to those of other organisms and discussed on the basis of their physiological and metabolic features.

Tiamulin-Resistant Mutants of the Thermophilic Bacterium Thermus thermophilus. [PDF]

Antibiotics (Basel), 2020
Tiamulin is a semisynthetic pleuromutilin antibiotic that binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit A site and whose (((2-diethylamino)ethyl)thio)-acetic acid tail extends into the P site to interfere with peptide bond formation. We have isolated spontaneous tiamulin-resistant mutants of the thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus, containing either ...

Allosteric Inhibition of Thermus Thermophilus Phosphofructokinase [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2010
Thermus thermophilus phosphofructokinase (TtPFK) comes from an extreme thermophile and exhibits entropically-driven inhibition by phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP). Interestingly, a PFK from the moderate thermophile Bacillus stearothermophilus also exhibits entropically-driven inhibition, while enthalphically-driven inhibition is observed for PFK from ...

Unconventional lateral gene transfer in extreme thermophilic bacteria [PDF]

, 2012
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 ...

Thiostrepton-resistant mutants of Thermus thermophilus [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2004
Ribosomal protein L11 and its associated binding site on 23S rRNA together comprise one of the principle components that mediate interactions of translation factors with the ribosome. This site is also the target of the antibiotic thiostrepton, which has been proposed to act by preventing important structural transitions that occur in this region of ...

A DING phosphatase in Thermus thermophilus

Amino Acids, 2007
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 ...
