Production of depolymerlzing exoenzymes in the thermophilic actinomycete, Thermomonospora curvata, grown at 40°, 50° and 61°C, were compared. Cellulase-specific activities were similar at the three growth temperatures. Amylase-and pectinase-specific activities decreased with increasing growth temperature, while xylanase had the reverse pattern. This pattern of thermodependence correlated with ability of the actinomycete to use the product of each exoenzyme as sole carbon source. Therefore the activities of depolymerizing enzymes produced by the actinomycete during the composting temperature ascent are influenced by its ability to utillize each depolymerization product at that temperature.

Lanthipeptides are ribosomally-synthesized natural products from bacteria featuring stable thioether-crosslinks and various bioactivities. Herein, we report on a new clade of tricyclic class-IV lanthipeptides with curvocidin from Thermomonospora curvata as its first representative. We obtained crystal structures of the corresponding lanthipeptide synthetase CuvL that showed a circular arrangement of its kinase, lyase and cyclase domains, forming a central reaction chamber for the iterative substrate processing involving nine catalytic steps.

Soil autotrophic bacteria community plays an important role in carbon (C) cycling process in soil, but there is still limited information about how the rhizosphere soil microbe that drives this process respond to combined application of tillage with crop residue incorporation managements under a double-cropping rice (Oryza sativa L.) paddy field in southern China. Therefore, the 6-years short-term tillage treatment on rhizosphere soil autotrophic bacteria community [RubisCO gene (cbbL)] under the double-cropping rice paddy field in southern China was studied using the high-throughput sequencing method in the present article.

Extradiol dioxygenases (EDOs) catalyze the meta cleavage of catechol into 2-hydroxymuconaldehyde, a critical step in the degradation of aromatic compounds in the environment. In the present work, a novel thermophilic extradiol dioxygenase from Thermomonospora curvata DSM43183 was cloned, expressed, and characterized by phylogenetic and biochemical analyses. This enzyme exhibited excellent thermo-tolerance, displaying optimal activity at 50 °C, remaining >40% activity at 70 °C.
