Structure of ribosomes from Thermomyces lanuginosus by electron microscopy and image processing

Cloning and expression of kinesins from the thermophilic fungus Thermomyces lanuginosus

“…One example is the thermophilic fungus Thermomyces lanuginosus, which tolerates temperatures up to 60 8C, has a growth optimum of 50 8C, and will not grow below 30 8C~Deacon, 1997!. T. lanuginosus was previously explored as a source of thermostable lipases Berg et al, 1998!, xylanases~Schlacher et al, 1996!, and glu-coamylases~Basaveswara Rao et al, 1981 It was also used as a source of ribosomal subunits for electron microscopic studies Harauz & Flannigan, 1990!. The demonstrated ability of T. lanuginosus to encode thermostable enzymes, and its relatively extreme thermophilicity~for a eukaryote!…”
