TL;DR: In this article, a flow-through anode with minimal dead volume and a high electrode surface area per unit volume was proposed to promote biofilm formation via a combination of forced flow through the anode and carbon limitation.
Book ChapterDOI
The genus Geobacillus and their biotechnological potential.
TL;DR: A number of genome-sequencing projects have been completed or are underway allowing comparative studies, which reveal a significant amount of genome rearrangement within the genus, the presence of large genomic islands encompassing all the hemicellulose utilization genes and a genomic island incorporating a set of long chain alkane monooxygenase genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a versatile shuttle vector for gene expression in Geobacillus spp.
TL;DR: An improved, versatile shuttle vector has been created for the metabolic engineering of Geobacillus spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biocatalysts for selective introduction of oxygen
TL;DR: Three types of oxygenase biocatalysts are treated in detail in this review: the non-haem iron alkene mono-oxygenases, the haem and vanadium haloperoxidases, and flavin-based Baeyer–Villiger mono- oxygengenases.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Alkene Monooxygenase from Xanthobacter Strain Py2 Is Closely Related to Aromatic Monooxygenases and Catalyzes Aromatic Monohydroxylation of Benzene, Toluene, and Phenol
TL;DR: Sequencing and analysis of the predicted amino acid sequences indicate that the components of Xamo are homologous to those of the aromatic monooxygenases, toluene 2-, 3-, and 4-monooxygenase and benzene monooxyGENase, and that the gene order is identical.
