The correlation between genomic G+ C content and optimal growth temperature in prokaryotes has gained renewed interest after Musto et al.[H. Musto, H. Naya, A. Zavala, H …
Background GC pairs are generally more stable than AT pairs; GC-rich genomes were proposed to be more adapted to high temperatures than AT-rich genomes. Previous studies …
Two years ago, we showed that positive correlations between optimal growth temperature (Topt) and genome GC are observed in 15 out of the 20 families of prokaryotes we analyzed …

Background Among the four bases, guanine is the most susceptible to damage from oxidative stress. Replication of DNA containing damaged guanines results in G to T …
The relationship between codon usage in prokaryotes and their ability to grow at extreme temperatures has been given much attention over the past years. Previous studies have …
