The superoxide dismutase (TfSOD) gene from the extremely thermophilic bacterium Thermus filiformis was cloned and expressed at high levels in mesophilic host. The purified enzyme displayed approximately 25 kDa band in the ...

Laccases are multicopper oxidases that are being studied for their potential application in pretreatment strategies of lignocellulosic feedstocks for bioethanol production. Here, we report the expression and characterization ...

Phospholipases are classified in different enzyme families according to the ester bond they cleave within phospholipids. The use of phospholipases in industrial processes has prompted the search for new enzymes with ...

Thermus sp. 2.9 was isolated from a hot water spring in Salta, Argentina. Here we report the draft genome sequence (2,485,434 bp) of this strain, consisting of 11 scaffolds longer than 10 kbp and 2,719 protein-coding sequences.

The superoxide dismutase (TfSOD) gene from the extremely thermophilic bacterium Thermus filiformis was cloned and expressed at high levels in mesophilic host. The purified enzyme displayed approximately 25 kDa band in the ...

Two members of the genus Thermus were examined for their resistance to toxic inorganic compounds. They both proved to be fairly resistant to tellurite and selenite and to many other heavy metal salts. Cell extracts of ...

For certain applications of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), it may be necessary to consider the accuracy of replication. The breakthrough that made PCR user friendly was the commercialization of Thermus aquaticus (Taq) ...
