Proteomic Analyses Reveal that Sky1 Modulates Apoptosis and Mitophagy in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cells Exposed to Cisplatin
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2014)
[Abstract] Sky1 is the only member of the SR (Serine–Arginine) protein kinase family in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. When yeast cells are treated with the anti-cancer drug cisplatin, Sky1 kinase activity is necessary to produce ...
Optimization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae α-galactosidase production and application in the degradation of raffinose family oligosaccharides
(BMC, 2019-10-10)
[Abstract]
Background: α-Galactosidases are enzymes that act on galactosides present in many vegetables, mainly legumes and cereals, have growing importance with respect to our diet. For this reason, the use of their ...
Editorial for the special issue: Thermophiles and Thermozymes
(MDPI, 2019-02-27)
[Abstract:] Heat-loving microorganisms or thermophiles arouse noticeable scientific interest nowadays, not only with the aim to elucidate the mystery of life at high temperatures, but also due to the huge field of ...
Thermus thermophilus as a Source of Thermostable Lipolytic Enzymes
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2015)
Lipolytic enzymes, esterases (EC 3.1.1.1) and lipases (EC 3.1.1.3), catalyze the hydrolysis of ester bonds between alcohols and carboxylic acids, and its formation in organic media. At present, they represent about 20% of ...
Hot Spring Metagenomics
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2013)
Hot springs have been investigated since the XIX century, but isolation and examination of their thermophilic microbial inhabitants did not start until the 1950s. Many thermophilic microorganisms and their viruses have ...
Microbial diversity analysis and screening for novel xylanase enzymes from the sediment of the Lobios Hot Spring in Spain
(Springer Nature, 2019-08-01)
[Abstract] Here, we describe the metagenome composition of a microbial community in a hot spring sediment as well as a sequence-based and function-based screening of the metagenome for identification of novel xylanases. ...
Xylanases From Thermophilic Archaea: A Hidden Treasure
(Elsevier, 2022-12-12)
[Abstract] Archaea are a domain of prokaryotic organisms that often inhabit extremophilic environments. Their enzymes are therefore of enormous biotechnological interest, due to their stability and activity in harsh ...
Insights on Microbial Communities Inhabiting Non-Volcanic Hot Springs
(MDPI, 2022-10-13)
[Abstract] The northwest of Spain has an abundance of non-volcanic hot springs that, until recently, had only been used for thermalism activities. One of such hot springs, Muiño da Veiga, has now been explored using ...
Comparative Metagenomic Analysis of Two Hot Springs From Ourense (Northwestern Spain) and Others Worldwide
(Frontiers, 2021-11-26)
[Abstract] With their circumneutral pH and their moderate temperature (66 and 68°C, respectively), As Burgas and Muiño da Veiga are two important human-use hot springs, previously studied with traditional culture methods, ...
Production and characterization of an extracellular acid protease from thermophilic Brevibacillus sp. OA30 isolated from an Algerian hot spring
(MDPI, 2018-04-12)
[Abstract] Proteases have numerous biotechnological applications and the bioprospection for newly-thermostable proteases from the great biodiversity of thermophilic microorganisms inhabiting hot environments, such as ...
