Thermophiles and thermophilic enzymes
نویسنده
چکیده
Thermophiles chapter http://lasp.colorado.edu/education/journalists/ yellow_stone/Articles/CH4.PDF This book chapter describes thermophile biology and ecology. It also points out that thermophiles are very diverse phylogenetically. Microbial world: Thermophilic microorganisms http://www.biology.ed.ac.uk/research/groups/jdeacon/ microbes/thermo.htm This page of the Microbial World series is no longer being pursued. Despite that, it is still a useful and colourful site.

Pressure stabilization of proteins from extreme thermophiles.
We describe the stabilization by pressure of enzymes, including a hydrogenase from Methanococcus jannaschii, an extremely thermophilic deep-sea methanogen. This is the first published report of proteins from thermophiles being stabilized by pressure. Inactivation studies of partially purified hydrogenases from an extreme thermophile (Methanococcus igneus), a moderate thermophile (Methanococcus ...
متن کاملInsight into thermophiles and their wide-spectrum applications
The deconstruction of biomass is a pivotal process for the manufacture of target products using microbial cells and their enzymes. But the enzymes that possess a significant role in the breakdown of biomass remain relatively unexplored. Thermophilic microorganisms are of special interest as a source of novel thermostable enzymes. Many thermophilic microorganisms possess properties suitable for ...
متن کاملPopulation Dynamics and Extracellular Enzymes Activity of Mesophilic and Thermophilic Bacteria Isolated from Semi-arid Soil of Northeastern Brazil
The dynamics of mesophilic and thermophilic bacterial population was studied in the bulk soil and rhizosphere of the grass Aristida adscensionis L. in a caatinga of the semi-arid Brazilian Northeast. Mesophilic heterotrophic bacteria, spore–forming bacteria and actinomycetes were significantly more abundant than thermophiles, and their counts were 10 10 CFU g dry soil, showing weak fluctuations...
متن کاملAlcohol dehydrogenases from thermophilic and hyperthermophilic archaea and bacteria.
Many studies have been undertaken to characterise alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) from thermophiles and hyperthermophiles, mainly to better understand their activities and thermostability. To date, there are 20 thermophilic archaeal and 17 thermophilic bacterial strains known to have ADHs or similar enzymes, including the hypothetical proteins. Some of these thermophiles are found to have multipl...
متن کاملExtremely thermophilic microorganisms as metabolic engineering platforms for production of fuels and industrial chemicals
Enzymes from extremely thermophilic microorganisms have been of technological interest for some time because of their ability to catalyze reactions of industrial significance at elevated temperatures. Thermophilic enzymes are now routinely produced in recombinant mesophilic hosts for use as discrete biocatalysts. Genome and metagenome sequence data for extreme thermophiles provide useful inform...
