Journal ArticleDOI
A study on the structure-function relationship of lipopeptide biosurfactants.
TL;DR: Arthrofactin (AF) and surfactin (SF) are the most effective cyclic lipopeptide biosurfactants ever reported as mentioned in this paper, and they have shown higher activity under alkaline conditions than acidic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete genome sequence of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakaraensis KOD1 and comparison with Pyrococcus genomes
TL;DR: There are several intriguing proteins that might be responsible for the specific trait of the genus Thermococcus, such as proteins involved in additional pyruvate oxidation, nucleotide metabolisms, unique or additional metal ion transporters, improved stress response system, and a distinct restriction system.
Journal ArticleDOI
The concept of the α-amylase family: Structural similarity and common catalytic mechanism
Takashi Kuriki,Tadayuki Imanaka +1 more
TL;DR: This review reconsiders the concept of the alpha-amylase family in the light of the recent wealth of information on the structures, the catalytic mechanisms, and the classification of amylases and points out the significance and problems of the sequence-based classification of glycosyl hydrolases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Targeted Gene Disruption by Homologous Recombination in the Hyperthermophilic Archaeon Thermococcus kodakaraensis KOD1
TL;DR: The gene targeting system developed in this study provides a long-needed tool in the research on hyperthermophilic archaea and will open the way to a systematic, genetic approach for the elucidation of unknown gene function in these organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Description of Thermococcus kodakaraensis sp. nov., a well studied hyperthermophilic archaeon previously reported as Pyrococcus sp. KOD1
TL;DR: A detailed phylogenetic tree, made possible by the recent accumulation of 16S rRNA sequences of various species in the order Thermococcales, indicated that strain KOD1 is a member of the genus Thermococcus.
