Insight into thermophiles and their wide-spectrum applications

چکیده
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 biotechnological and commercial use. There is, indeed, a considerable demand for a new generation of stable enzymes that are able to withstand severe conditions in industrial processes by replacing or supplementing traditional chemical processes. This manuscript reviews the pertinent role of thermophilic microorganisms as a source for production of thermostable enzymes, factors afftecting them, recent patents on thermophiles and moreso their wide spectrum applications for commercial and biotechnological use.

Potential and utilization of thermophiles and thermostable enzymes in biorefining
In today's world, there is an increasing trend towards the use of renewable, cheap and readily available biomass in the production of a wide variety of fine and bulk chemicals in different biorefineries. Biorefineries utilize the activities of microbial cells and their enzymes to convert biomass into target products. Many of these processes require enzymes which are operationally stable at high...
متن کاملAn insight to optical studies of acridine orange cationic dye within nanometer-sized microemulsions at fixed water content
Cationic dye Acridine orange (AO) has wide applications especially in biologicalfields such as analysis of lysosomal and mitochondria content by flow cytometryand so on. In the current work, spectroscopy of acridine orange (AO) dye at bothlow concentrations (mdye/mwater=6.25×10-5, 3.12×10-5) and high concentrations(mdye/mwater=0.002, 0.001) was studied in confined water ...
متن کاملCisco CleanAir Technology: Intelligence in Action
This white paper addresses the RF interference challenges that result from high usage of a shared spectrum. With the introduction of the IEEE’s latest wireless standard, 802.11ac, with its 80-MHz-wide channel bandwidth, these challenges become more acute. It explores the limitations of standard Wi-Fi chip design and how this affects the ability of an IT organization to gather critical, actionab...
متن کاملThe Genomics of Disulfide Bonding and Protein Stabilization in Thermophiles
Thermophilic organisms flourish in varied high-temperature environmental niches that are deadly to other organisms. Recently, genomic evidence has implicated a critical role for disulfide bonds in the structural stabilization of intracellular proteins from certain of these organisms, contrary to the conventional view that structural disulfide bonds are exclusively extracellular. Here both compu...
متن کاملNew insight into the application of outer membrane vesicles of Gram-negative bacteria
This review presents a brief outline of our current knowledge of the structure and chemical composition of the outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), originating from the surface of Gram negative bacteria including their outer membrane proteins and lipopolysaccharides. Moreover, the functional roles and applications of OMVs in medical research such as OMV-based vaccines, OMV adjuvants properties, OMV ...
