1. Influência da concentração de substrato e da temperatura na produção de hidrogênio a partir de vinhaça de cana-de-açúcar / Influence of substrate concentration and temperature on hydrogen production from vinasse cane sugar
O presente estudo teve como principal objetivo avaliar a produção de hidrogênio a partir de diferentes concentrações de vinhaça de cana-de-açúcar a 370°C e 55°C. Além disso, os consórcios microbianos mesófilo e termófilo utilizados nos ensaios em reatores em batelada foram caracterizados por meio da técnica de clonagem e sequenciamento do gene

2. Advances in Development of a Genetic System for Thermoanaerobacterium spp.: Expression of Genes Encoding Hydrolytic Enzymes, Development of a Second Shuttle Vector, and Integration of Genes into the Chromosome
Despite recent success in transforming various thermophilic gram-type-positive anaerobes with plasmid DNA, use of shuttle vectors for the expression of genes other than antibiotic resistance markers has not previously been described. We constructed new vectors in order to express heterologous hydrolytic enzymes in our model system, Thermoanaerobacterium sacc

4. Cyclodextrin formation by the thermostable alpha-amylase of Thermoanaerobacterium thermosulfurigenes EM1 and reclassification of the enzyme as a cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase.
Extensive characterization of the thermostable alpha-amylase of Clostridium thermosulfurogenes EM1, recently reclassified as Thermoanaerobacterium thermosulfurigenes, clearly demonstrated that the enzyme is a cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase). Product analysis after incubation of the enzyme with starch revealed formation of alpha-, beta-, and gamma-c

5. Isolation, analysis, and expression of two genes from Thermoanaerobacterium sp. strain JW/SL YS485: a beta-xylosidase and a novel acetyl xylan esterase with cephalosporin C deacetylase activity.
The genes encoding acetyl xylan esterase 1 (axe1) and a beta-xylosidase (xylB) have been cloned and sequenced from Thermoanaerobacterium sp. strain JW/SL YS485. axe1 is located 22 nucleotides 3' of the xylB sequence. The identity of axe1 was confirmed by comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence to peptide sequence analysis data from purified acetyl xyla

6. Cloning and sequencing of the Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum B6A-RI apu gene and purification and characterization of the amylopullulanase from Escherichia coli.
The amylopullulanase gene (apu) of the thermophilic anaerobic bacterium Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum B6A-RI was cloned into Escherichia coli. The complete nucleotide sequence of the gene was determined. It encoded a protein consisting of 1,288 amino acids with a signal peptide of 35 amino acids. The enzyme purified from E. coli was a monomer with an

7. Gene cloning, sequencing, and biochemical characterization of endoxylanase from Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum B6A-RI.
The gene encoding endoxylanase (xynA) from Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum B6A-RI was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. A putative 33-amino-acid signal peptide, which corresponded to the N-terminal amino acids, was encoded by xynA. An open reading frame of 3,471 bp, corresponding to 1,157 amino acid residues, was found, giving the xynA gene pro

8. Purification and characterization of two thermostable acetyl xylan esterases from Thermoanaerobacterium sp. strain JW/SL-YS485.
Two acetyl esterases (EC 3.1.1.6) were purified to gel electrophoretic homogeneity from Thermoanaerobacterium sp. strain JW/SL-YS485, an anaerobic, thermophilic endospore former which is able to utilize various substituted xylans for growth. Both enzymes released acetic acid from chemically acetylated larch xylan. Acetyl xylan esterases I and II had molecula

9. In Thermoanaerobacterium thermosulfurigenes EM1 S-Layer Homology Domains Do Not Attach to Peptidoglycan
Three exocellular enzymes of Thermoanaerobacterium thermosulfurigenes EM1 possess a C-terminal triplicated sequence related to a domain of bacterial cell surface proteins (S-layer proteins). At least one copy of this sequence, named the SLH (for S-layer homology) domain, is also present at the N terminus of the S-layer protein of this bacterium. The hypothes

10. Purification and cloning of a thermostable xylose (glucose) isomerase with an acidic pH optimum from Thermoanaerobacterium strain JW/SL-YS 489.
An unusual xylose isomerase produced by Thermoanaerobacterium strain JW/SL-YS 489 was purified 28-fold to gel electrophoretic homogeneity, and the biochemical properties were determined. Its pH optimum distinguishes this enzyme from all other previously described xylose isomerases. The purified enzyme had maximal activity at pH 6.4 (60 degrees C) or pH 6.8 (

11. Regulation and Characterization of Xylanolytic Enzymes of Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum B6A-RI
During growth on xylan and xylose Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum B6A-RI produced endoxylanase, β-xylosidase, arabinofuranosidase, and acetyl esterase, and the first three activities appeared to be produced coordinately. During nonlimiting growth on xylan, these enzyme activities were predominantly cell associated; however, during growth on limiting c

12. Molecular Cloning, Sequencing, and Expression of a Novel Multidomain Mannanase Gene from Thermoanaerobacterium polysaccharolyticum
The manA gene of Thermoanaerobacterium polysaccharolyticum was cloned in Escherichia coli. The open reading frame of manA is composed of 3,291 bases and codes for a preprotein of 1,097 amino acids with an estimated molecular mass of 119,627 Da. The start codon is preceded by a strong putative ribosome binding site (TAAGGCGGTG) and a putative −35 (TTCGC) an
