TL;DR: The complete sequence of the genome of a hyper-thermophilic archaebacterium, Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3, has been determined by assembling the sequences of the physical map-based contigs of fosmid clones and of long polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products which were used for gap-filling.
Journal ArticleDOI
The genomic basis of trophic strategy in marine bacteria.

DeMaere,Lily Ting,Haluk Ertan,Haluk Ertan,Justin Johnson,Steven Ferriera,Alla Lapidus,Iain Anderson,Nikos C. Kyrpides,A. Christine Munk,Chris Detter,Cliff Han,Mark V. Brown,Frank T. Robb,Staffan Kjelleberg,Ricardo Cavicchioli +21 more
TL;DR: This work compares the genome sequences of two bacteria, Photobacterium angustum S14 and Sphingopyxis alaskensis RB2256, that serve as useful model organisms for copiotrophic and oligotrophic modes of life and relates the genomic features to trophic strategy for these organisms and defines their molecular mechanisms of adaptation.
Book
Archaea : a laboratory manual
TL;DR: The protocols in these three books are selected to provide a detailed guide to experiments with the methanogenic, extremely halophilic, and thermophilic sulfur-utilizing Archaea, with overviews to highlight areas of future development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life in Hot Carbon Monoxide: The Complete Genome Sequence of Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans Z-2901
Martin Wu,Qinghu Ren,A. Scott Durkin,Sean C. Daugherty,Lauren M. Brinkac,Robert J. Dodson,Ramana Madupu,Steven A. Sullivan,James F. Kolonay,William C. Nelson,Luke J. Tallon,Kristine Jones,Luke E. Ulrich,Juan M. Gonzalez,Igor B. Zhulin,Frank T. Robb,Jonathan A. Eisen +16 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the genome of the thermophilic bacterium Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans reveals the presence of at least five highly differentiated anaerobic carbon monoxide dehydrogenase complexes, which may in part explain how this species is able to grow so much more rapidly on CO than many other species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protein thermostability above 100°C: A key role for ionic interactions
Costantino Vetriani,Dennis L. Maeder,Nicola Tolliday,Kitty S. P. Yip,Timothy J. Stillman,K. Linda Britton,David W. Rice,Horst H. Klump,Frank T. Robb +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that extensive ion-pair networks may provide a general strategy for manipulating enzyme thermostability of multisubunit enzymes, however, this study emphasizes the importance of the exact local environment of a residue in determining its effects on stability.
