AI Article Synopsis
- Free ions of Na(+), K(+), Ca(2+), and Mg(2+) were studied for their effect on the optical density of thermophilic bacilli cultures.
- The research focused on specific strains such as Anoxybacillus flavithermus E16 and Geobacillus sp. strain F75, identifying that Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) led to greater increases in optical density compared to Na(+) and K(+).
- Findings suggested that Ca(2+) and/or Mg(2+) are essential for protein production in these bacteria, prompting further investigation into A. flavithermus E16.
Article Abstract
Free ions of Na(+), K(+), Ca(2+), and Mg(2+) influenced the optical density of planktonic cultures of thermophilic bacilli. Anoxybacillus flavithermus E16 and Geobacillus sp. strain F75 (milk powder manufacturing plant isolates) and A. flavithermus DSM 2641 and G. thermoleovorans DSM 5366 were studied. Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) were associated with increases in optical density more so than Na(+) and K(+). Overall, it appeared that Ca(2+) and/or Mg(2+) was required for the production of protein in thermophilic bacilli, as shown by results obtained with A. flavithermus E16, which was selected for further study.

This study was conducted to examine the role of the central domain of cyclomaltodextrinase in terms of stability, substrate specificity, becoming dodecameric form, and enzyme activity. To this end, H403R/L309V double-point mutation and T280Q single-point mutation were performed at the central domain and (β/α)8-barrel. The results indicated that the activity of the H403R/L309V mutant at the optimal pH and temperature increased by about 25% and 40%, respectively.

Anoxybacillus flavithermus, Geobacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus licheniformis are the main contaminants found in dairy powders. These spore-forming thermophilic bacteria, rarely detected in raw milk, persist, and grow during the milk powder manufacturing process. Moreover, in the form of spores, these species resist and concentrate in the powders during the processes.

Reverse transcriptases (RTs) are a family of enzymes that synthesize DNA using an RNA template and are involved in retrovirus propagation and telomere lengthening. In vitro, RTs are widely applied in various methods, including RNA-seq, RT-PCR, and RT-LAMP. Thermostable RTs from bacterial group II introns are promising tools for biotechnology due to their higher thermostability, fidelity, and processivity compared to commonly used M-MuLV RT and its mutants.

Research on Cas9 nucleases from different organisms holds great promise for advancing genome engineering and gene therapy tools, as it could provide novel structural insights into CRISPR editing mechanisms, expanding its application area in biology and medicine. The subclass of thermophilic Cas9 nucleases is actively expanding due to the advances in genome sequencing allowing for the meticulous examination of various microorganisms' genomes in search of the novel CRISPR systems. The most prominent thermophilic Cas9 effectors known to date are GeoCas9, ThermoCas9, IgnaviCas9, AceCas9, and others.

In this investigation, two new thermophilic bacteria were isolated. The new isolates were characterized by 16S rRNA, biochemical, morphological, and physiological analyzes and the isolates were identified as strain Gecek20 and thermophilic strain Gecek19. Various biological activities of extracellular Ag-NPs synthesized from thermophilic strain Gecek20 and thermophilic strain Gecek19 were evaluated.
