Diversity of halophilic archaea in fermented foods and human intestines and their application.
Archaea are prokaryotic organisms distinct from bacteria in the structural and molecular biological sense, and these microorganisms are known to thrive mostly at extreme environments. In particular, most studies on halophilic archaea have been focused on environmental and ecological researches. However, new species of halophilic archaea are being isolated and identified from high salt-fermented...
متن کاملIdentified Hybrid tRNA Structure Genes in Archaeal Genome
Background: In Archaea, previous studies have revealed the presence of multiple intron-containing tRNAs and split tRNAs. The full unexpurgated analysis of archaeal tRNA genes remains a challenging task in the field of bioinformatics, because of the presence of various types of hidden tRNA genes in archaea. Here, we suggested a computational method that searched for widely separ...
متن کاملBiotechnological applications of archaeal extremozymes
Autor do korespondencji: Anna Węgrzyn – Ph.D., e-mail: [email protected] Introduction Archaea are prokaryotic micro-organisms which are able to live only in extreme environments. Based on state-of-the-art those micro-organisms can be divided into three groups: methanogens, thermoacidophiles and halophiles [1]. Those micro-organisms are considered to be pioneer organisms, inhabiting most adv...
متن کاملIdentification of sn-glycerol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase activity from genomic information on a hyperthermophilic archaeon, Sulfolobus tokodaii strain 7.
sn-Glycerol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase is responsible for the formation of sn-glycerol-1-phosphate, the backbone of membrane phospholipids of Archaea. This activity had never been detected in cell-free extract of Sulfolobus sp. Here we report the detection of this activity on the thermostable ST0344 protein of Sulfolobus tokodaii expressed in Escherichia coli, which was predicted from genomic in...
متن کاملAdaptation of proteins from hyperthermophiles to high pressure and high temperature.
Further clarification of the adaptations permitting the persistence of life at temperatures above 100 degrees C depends in part on the analysis of adaptive mechanisms at the protein level. The hyperthermophiles include both Bacteria and Archaea, although the majority of isolates growing at or above 100 degrees C are Archaea. Newly described adaptive features of hyperthermophiles include protein...
