Hot Spring Metagenomics
Hot springs have been investigated since the XIX century, but isolation and examination of their thermophilic microbial inhabitants did not start until the 1950s. Many thermophilic microorganisms and their viruses have since been discovered, although the real complexity of thermal communities was envisaged when research based on PCR amplification of the 16S rRNA genes arose. Thereafter, the pos...
متن کاملOn the formation of terrestrial planets in hot–Jupiter systems
Context. There are numerous extrasolar giant planets which orbit close to their central stars. These ‘hot-Jupiters’ probably formed in the outer, cooler regions of their protoplanetary disks, and migrated inward to ∼ 0.1 AU. Since these giant planets must have migrated through their inner systems at an early time, it is uncertain whether they could have formed or retained terrestrial planets. A...
متن کاملCan Terrestrial Planets Form in Hot-Jupiter Systems?
Models of terrestrial planet formation in the presence of a migrating giant planet have challenged the notion that hot-Jupiter systems lack terrestrial planets. We briefly review this issue and suggest that hot-Jupiter systems should be prime targets for future observational missions designed to detect Earth-sized and potentially habitable worlds.
متن کاملHot nuclei at the Cold Spring
Biologists are used to the idea that structure and function are interconnected; they can relate the gross anatomy of a limb to locomotion, the organization of a mitochondrion to energy production, and the geometry of an enzyme to a catalytic activity. Therefore, they would expect textbooks and conferences on the nucleus to relate the vital functions like replication and transcription to the und...
متن کاملVirus silicification under simulated hot spring conditions.
Silicification of organisms in silica-depositing environments can impact both their ecology and their presence in the fossil record. Although microbes have been silicified under laboratory and environmental conditions, viruses have not. Bacteriophage T4 was successfully silicified under laboratory conditions that closely simulated those found in silica-depositing hot springs. Virus morphology w...
