Proteomic investigation of Geobacillus thermoleovorans T80

抄録

Thermophilic bacteria belonging to Bacillus genetic group 5 have been reclassified as being members of Geobacillus gen. nov., with G. stearothermophilus as the type strain. Geobacillus species, literally meaning earth, or soil, bacillus, are widely distributed and readily isolated from natural and man-made thermophilic biotopes. At present there is an abundance of genomic information available for this genera with sequencing projects of the isolates G. stearothermophilus, and G. kaustophilus HTA426.Within this paper we wish to present the pertinent features of the proteome of this microorganism and thus hope to widen our knowledge and understanding of how these microorganisms are able to adapt and survive in extreme environments.
