A thermophilic cellulase-producing bacterium, strain HSW-8, isolated from hot spring waters in South Korea, was subjected to a taxonomic analysis. Cells of strain HSW-8 were gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped, with optimum growth at 45 °C, pH 7.0, in the presence of 0% (w/v) NaCl.

Background: Recombinant proteins produced in the cell factories are used in biological research, pharmaceutical production, and biochemical and agricultural applications. Molecular chaperones, such as heat shock proteins (Hsps), are co-expressed with recombinant proteins to enhance their yield, stability, and activity. When () is used as a cell factory, Hsps are the frequently used co-expression partners.

A detailed diversity analysis of the prokaryotic and fungal communities in soil impacted by an underground fire located in the Trans-Mexican volcanic belt, Mexico, is described. Microbial diversity data obtained from soils at different depths and temperatures (27 °C, 42 °C, 50 ºC and 54 ºC) were analyzed, and Firmicutes increased in abundance as the temperature augmented, and Proteobacteria mainly decreased in abundance at high temperatures compared to unaffected soils. The fungal phylum Ascomycota was the most abundant, with no significant changes.

Phosphatidylglycerol (1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-glycerol) (PG) is one of the most abundant lipids in biological membranes. However, the chirality of the carbon atom in glycerol phosphate differs among the three kingdoms: bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. It is commonly assumed that archaea, as well as bacteria and eukaryotes, produce only one isomer of PG.

As global temperatures rise, improving crop yields will require enhancing the thermotolerance of crops. One approach for improving thermotolerance is using bioengineering to increase the thermostability of enzymes catalysing essential biological processes. Photorespiration is an essential recycling process in plants that is integral to photosynthesis and crop growth.
