A thermophilic Anoxybacillus sp. strain JT-12, isolated from soil, produced acidic xylotriose, 4-O-methyl-α-D-glucuronosyl-xylotriose (MeGlcAX₃), as a main product from birchwood xylan and accumulated them in the culture under optimum conditions at pH 7.0 and 55 °C using 0.75% (w/v) birchwood xylan as a carbon source for 42-72 h. The acidic xylotriose was purified by ethanol precipitation and h...

Anoxybacillus flavithermus subsp. yunnanensis is the only strictly thermophilic bacterium that is able to tolerate a broad range of toxic solvents at its optimal temperature of 55-60°C. The type strain E13(T) was isolated from water-sediment slurries collected from a hot spring. This study presents the draft genome sequence of A. flavithermus subsp. yunnanensis E13(T) and its annotation. The 2,...

The relative isolation and unique physical properties of the Savusavu Hot Springs in Fiji may yield unique thermophiles. This study was conducted to determine the presence of aerobic thermophilic bacteria in these hot springs. A total of 104 thermophilic bacterial isolates were characterized and using Thermus and Bacillus strains as controls, 58% of the isolates were identified as Anoxybacillus...

For dairy processors, spoilage and pathogenic spore‐forming bacteria are key sources of concern, not only due to their ability remain dormant in a desiccated state powders survive heat treatments, but also form biofilms the vegetative that lead contamination foods. These include members genera Bacillus , Geobacillus Anoxybacillus Brevibacillus Paenibacillus Clostridium many which associated wit...
