The upper temperature for life – where do we draw the line?
(Elsevier, 2004)
The newly isolated hyperthermophilic archaeal strain 121
grows slowly at 121 8C and even survives short periods at
130 8C. This is another organism that grows best at
temperatures well in excess of 100 8C! We should not ...
16 S rDNA primers and the unbiased assessment of thermophile diversity
(Portland Press, 2004)
Our understanding of thermophile diversity is based predominantly on PCR studies of community DNA.
‘Universal’ and domain-specific rRNA gene PCR primers have historically been used for the assessment
of microbial diversity ...
Metagenomics, gene discovery and the ideal biocatalyst
(Portland Press, 2004)
With the rapid development of powerful protein evolution and enzyme-screening technologies, there is
a growing belief that optimum conditions for biotransformation processes can be established without
the constraints of ...
Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of thermostable nitrile hydratase: research letter
(Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2004)
Microbial nitrile hydratases are important industrial enzymes
that catalyse the conversion of nitriles to the corresponding
amides. Bacillus strain RAPc8 nitrile hydratase has recently been
cloned and functionally ...
