Thermus spp is one of the most wide spread genuses of thermophilic bacteria, with isolates
found in natural as well as in man-made thermal environments. The high growth rates, cell …

Over the past two decades, prominent importance of molybdenum-containing enzymes in
prokaryotes has been put forward by studies originating from different fields. Proteomic or …

Life relies on the constant exchange of different forms of energy, ie, on energy transduction.
Therefore, organisms have evolved in a way to be able to harvest the energy made …

The Haloferax mediterranei nar operon has been sequenced and its regulation has been
characterized at transcriptional level. The nar operon encodes seven open reading frames …

Laboratory-adapted strains of Thermus spp. have been shown to require oxygen for growth,
including the model strains T. thermophilus HB27 and HB8. In contrast, many isolates of this …

Deletion of two homologous Geobacter sulfurreducens c-type cytochrome genes, omcG and
omcH, decreased the rate of Fe (III) reduction and decreased the level of an outer …

Superfolder GFP (sGFP) is a variant of the Green Fluorescent Protein that folds efficiently
when fused to poorly folded proteins. In this study, we show that sGFP, but not enhanced …

Ambient nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Great Boiling Spring (GBS) in the US Great
Basin depended on temperature, with the highest flux, 67.8±2.6 μmol N2O‐N m− 2 day− 1 …

The extreme thermophile Thermus thermophilus HB27 exhibits high frequencies of natural
transformation. Although we recently reported identification of the first competence genes in …

Nitrate respiration is a common and strain-specific property in Thermus thermophilus
encoded by the nitrate respiration conjugative element (NCE) that can be laterally …
