A highly thermostable trehalase from the thermophilic bacterium Rhodothermus marinus.

Trehalases play a central role in the metabolism of trehalose and can be found in a wide variety of organisms. A periplasmic trehalase (alpha,alpha-trehalose glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.

Processing fat-related information in individuals at risk for developing an eating disorder.

The authors examined the effect that being at risk for developing an eating disorder has on the lexical processing of words related to fat and words not related to fat. Individuals (n = 17) at risk for developing an eating disorder were compared with controls (n = 31) using a lexical decision task in which fat-related words (e.g.

A novel lipothrixvirus, SIFV, of the extremely thermophilic crenarchaeon Sulfolobus.

We describe a novel lipothrixvirus, SIFV, of the crenarchaeotal archaeon Sulfolobus islandicus. SIFV (S. islandicus filamentous virus) has a linear virion with a linear double-stranded DNA genome.
