What do Thermoproteus do?

Thermoproteus neutrophilus is an extreme thermophile, surviving at temperatures up to 95 C. It is an anaerobically growing, sulfur reducing autotroph [3]. It is able to reduce elemental sulfur to hydrogen sulfide using hydrogen as an electron donor [1].

What is metabolic Cross-feeding?

We define metabolic cross-feeding as an interaction between bacterial strains in which molecules resulting from the metabolism of one strain are further metabolised by another strain.

What is extracellular metabolism?

Extracellular metabolism is activated by acid phosphatases. • Ribose5P salvage from purine nucleotides and its metabolism produces NADPH. • Extracellular NADPH generating metabolism influences the redox environment.

Where is Thermoproteus found?

Ecology. Members of Thermoproteus are found in acidic hot springs and water holes; they have been isolated in these habitats in Iceland, Italy, North America, New Zealand, the Azores, and Indonesia. Their optimal growth temperature is 85 °C.

What is Thermoproteus Neutrophilus?

Thermoproteus neutrophilus (strain V24Sta) is an anaerobic hyperthermophilic crenarchaeota isolated from a hot spring in Iceland. This organism is capable of autotrophic growth with sulfur as the electron donor and hydrogen as the electron acceptor with an optimum temperature at 53 degrees Celsius.

What is the common name for aeropyrum Pernix?

What is Syntrophism?

syntrophism, mutual dependence of different types of organisms for the satisfaction of their respective nutritional needs. The intermediate or end products of metabolism of one organism are essential materials for another. Syntrophism is exemplified in the mixed population of an ecosystem (q.v.).

What are the examples of heterotrophic bacteria?

Some examples of heterotrophic bacteria are Agrobacterium, Xanthomonas, Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Escherichia, Rhizobium, etc.

What are metabolites made of?

Metabolites can be defined as endogenous compounds such as amino acids, lipids, sugars, organic acids, etc., which are routinely being formed in the anabolism or catabolism process.

What are intracellular metabolites?

Intracellular metabolites are contained within a mechanical barrier, the cell membrane or cell envelope. Therefore, in order to identify and quantify intracellular metabolites, it is necessary to extract metabolites from the intracellular compartment.

What is the common name for Thermoproteus Tenax?

GOLD Organism

What does Aeropyrum pernix do?

Aeropyrum pernix is the first crenarchaeote and first aerobic member of the Archaea for which the complete genome sequence has been determined. The sequence confirms the distinct nature of crenarchaeotes and provides new insight into the relationships between the three domains: Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryotes.
