Journal ArticleDOI
Hyperthermophilic Enzymes: Sources, Uses, and Molecular Mechanisms for Thermostability
Claire Vieille,Gregory J. Zeikus +1 more
TL;DR: This review concentrates on the remarkable thermostability of hyperthermophilic enzymes, and describes the biochemical and molecular properties of these enzymes, which are typically thermostable and optimally active at high temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life in Extreme Environments
TL;DR: Critically what it means to be an extremophile is examined, and the implications for evolution, biotechnology and especially the search for life in the Universe are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychrophilic enzymes: Hot topics in cold adaptation
Georges Feller,Charles Gerday +1 more
TL;DR: The ability to thrive at temperatures that are close to, or below, the freezing point of water requires a vast array of adaptations to maintain the metabolic rates and sustained growth compatible with life in these severe environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioenergetic Aspects of Halophilism
TL;DR: Examinination of microbial diversity in environments of increasing salt concentrations indicates that certain types of dissimilatory metabolism do not occur at the highest salinities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cold-adapted enzymes.
TL;DR: This review addresses the structure, function, and stability of cold-adapted enzymes, highlighting the challenges for immediate and future consideration.
