Mesophilic cyanobacteria producing thermophilic restriction endonucleases.
When searching for the site-specific endonucleases in several strains of Phormidium we made the following observations. Among the 16 strains that originated from 15 species of Phormidium, 12 produced one or more restriction enzymes, of which two produced the highly thermophilic restriction endonucleases PtaI and PpaAII with their optimum activity at 65-80 degrees C, which is far above the letha...
متن کاملFlexibility and Mobility in Mesophilic and Thermophilic homologous proteins from Molecular Dynamics and Foldunfold Method
To function properly protein molecules require both flexibility and rigidity, therefore fast and accurate prediction of protein rigidity/flexibility is one of the important problems in protein science. In this work we used two theoretical approaches to determine flexible regions in four homologous pairs of proteins from thermophilic and mesophilic organisms. Protein pairs chosen in this study w...
متن کاملComparative analysis of DNA-binding proteins between thermophilic and mesophilic bacteria.
Thermophilic bacteria are one of the most attractive forms of life, and their adaptation mechanisms to elevated temperatures have been extensively studied over the years. Thermal adaptations of cell components such as proteins and RNA are well studied, but adaptations of interactions between these components must be also vital for the thermophiles. Protein-DNA interactions play crucial roles in...
متن کاملMesophilic and thermophilic biotreatment of BTEX-polluted air in reactors.
This study compares the removal of a mixture of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and all three xylene isomers (BTEX) in mesophilic and thermophilic (50 degrees C) bioreactors. In the mesophilic reactor fungi became dominant after long-term operation, while bacteria dominated in the thermophilic unit. Microbial acclimation was achieved by exposing the biofilters to initial BTEX loads of 2-15 g m(...
متن کاملComparison of family 9 cellulases from mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria.
Cellulases containing a family 9 catalytic domain and a family 3c cellulose binding module (CBM3c) are important components of bacterial cellulolytic systems. We measured the temperature dependence of the activities of three homologs: Clostridium cellulolyticum Cel9G, Thermobifida fusca Cel9A, and C. thermocellum Cel9I. To directly compare their catalytic activities, we constructed six new vers...
