Thermophiles, classification

Widdel F, PE Rouviere, RS Wolfe (1988) Classification of secondary alcohol-utilizing methanogens including a new thermophilic isolate. Arch Microbiol 150 477-481. [Pg.336]

The sulfothermophiles cluster together in phylogenetic trees while the thermophilic methanogens branch with the extreme halophiles and methanogens. The results suggest that the preliminary classification of the orders Thermoproteales and Pyrodictiales (Table 1) needs revision. [Pg.559]

FIGURE 4.7 Classification of bacteria types according to their temperature tolerance. While thermophiles (heat tolerant) prefer rather hot environments, mesophiles lie within room-temperature boundary, and cold-tolerant psychrophiles can tolerate rather low temperatures The temperature ranges are given in Fahrenheit (100°C = 212°F and 0°C = 32°F). [Pg.56]

This review on enzymes from extreme thermophiles (optimum growth temperature > 65 °C) concentrates on their characteristics, especially thermostabilities, and their commercial applicability. The enzymes are considered in general terms first, with comments on denaturation, stabilization and industrial processes. Discussion of the enzymes subsequently proceeds in order of their E.C. classification oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, isomerases and ligases. The ramifications of cloned enzymes from extreme thermophiles are also discussed. [Pg.57]
