Abstract:Recent interest in extremely thermophilic archaebacteria comes, in part, from a variety of potential biotechnological applications that have been proposed. These range from highly thermostable enzymes to possible novel biotransformations. Suljolobus acidocaldarius, for example, one of the most studied of the extreme thermophiles, has already been identified as playing a role in coal desulfurization and ore leaching processes. '3, Relatively little has been done thus far, however, to examine the engineering con… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
