Enzymes synthesized by hyperthermophiles (bacteria and archaea with optimal growth
temperatures of> 80° C), also called hyperthermophilic enzymes, are typically thermostable …

This review summarizes a decade of research in which we have used molecular methods, in
conjunction with more traditional approaches, to study hot spring cyanobacterial mats as …

▪ Abstract The recent recognition of a potentially vast, unexplored hot microbial biosphere
associated with active volcanism along the global mid-ocean ridge network has …

Molecular phylogenetic analysis of naturally occurring archaeal communities in deep-sea
hydrothermal vent environments was carried out by PCR-mediated small subunit rRNA gene …

The geochemical energy budgets for high-temperature microbial ecosystems such as occur
at Yellowstone National Park have been unclear. To address the relative contributions of …

In solfataric fields in southwestern Iceland, neutral and sulfide-rich hot springs are
characterized by thick bacterial mats at 60 to 80° C that are white or yellow from precipitated …

Thermophilic microbial inhabitants of active seafloor and continental hot springs populate
the deepest branches of the universal phylogenetic tree, making hydrothermal ecosystems …

Cultivation‐independent surveys of ribosomal RNA genes have revealed the existence of
novel microbial lineages, many with no known cultivated representatives. Ribosomal RNA …

Aerobic activated sludge granules are dense, spherical biofilms which can strongly improve
purification efficiency and sludge settling in wastewater treatment processes. In this study …

Microbiological and geochemical surveys were conducted at three hot springs (Obsidian
Pool, Sylvan Spring, and 'Bison Pool') in Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming, USA) …
