Mycobacterium parascrofulaceum in acidic hot springs in Yellowstone National Park.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mycobacterium parascrofulaceum was found in Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, in a system composed of two acidic (pH 3.0) springs with temperatures between 56 degrees C at the source and 40 degrees C at the confluence of both springs. Growth and survival assays at 56 degrees C for 60 days were performed, confirming the origin of the strain.

Draft Genome Sequence of Bacillus altitudinis YNP4-TSU, Isolated from Yellowstone National Park
Undisturbed hot springs inside Yellowstone National Park remain a dynamic biome for novel cellulolytic thermophiles. We report here the draft genome sequence of one of these isolates, Bacillus altitudinis YNP4-TSU.
متن کاملStructural and functional studies of archaeal viruses.
Viruses populate virtually every ecosystem on the planet, including the extreme acidic, thermal, and saline environments where archaeal organisms can dominate. For example, recent studies have identified crenarchaeal viruses in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park and other high temperature environments worldwide. These viruses are often morphologically and genetically unique, with geno...
متن کاملThe Prevalence of STIV c92-Like Proteins in Acidic Thermal Environments
A new type of viral-induced lysis system has recently been discovered for two unrelated archaeal viruses, STIV and SIRV2. Prior to the lysis of the infected host cell, unique pyramid-like lysis structures are formed on the cell surface by the protrusion of the underlying cell membrane through the overlying external S-layer. It is through these pyramid structures that assembled virions are relea...
متن کاملCharacterization of some thermophilic bacteria from the Hot Springs of Yellowstone National Park.
Extensive enzymatic studies have been conducted on cell-free fractions from a thermophilic bacterium designated as National Canners Association strain 2184 and tentativelv identified as Bacillus stearothermophilus Donk (1920), (Militzer et al., 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952; Georgi et al., 1951; h'Iarsh and Militzer, 1952). Preparatory to extending these investigations to other thermophilic bacteria, ...
متن کاملHydrogen and bioenergetics in the Yellowstone geothermal ecosystem.
The geochemical energy budgets for high-temperature microbial ecosystems such as occur at Yellowstone National Park have been unclear. To address the relative contributions of different geochemistries to the energy demands of these ecosystems, we draw together three lines of inference. We studied the phylogenetic compositions of high-temperature (>70 degrees C) communities in Yellowstone hot sp...
