thermoplasma การใช้
- This lipoglycan is presumably responsible for the acid and thermal stability of the " Thermoplasma " membrane.
- Further chemical analyses have shown its membrane cultured relatives " Ferroplasma " and " Thermoplasma ".
- However, a majority of proteins involved in heme production were found to be intact in " Thermoplasma volcanium ".
- Thus, " Thermoplasma volcanium " could reveal the mechanisms leading to evolutionary adaptations of archaea surviving in hotter environments.
- It belongs to the Thermoplasmata, which thrive in acidic and high-temperature environments . " Thermoplasma " are facultative anaerobes and respire using sulfur and organic carbon.
- While phylogenetically related to other organisms within Thermoplasmata, unlike " Thermoplasma " and " Ferroplasma ", " Picrophilus " contains an S-layer cell wall.
- Similarly, most hyperthermophilic archaea utilize reverse gyrase and topoisomerase VI for modifying the superhelicity of their DNA, but " Thermoplasma volcanium's " genome substitutes these with gyrase and DNA topoisomerase I for the same purposes.
- The DNA structure of " Thermoplasma volcanium " has greater flexibility than other archaeal DNA due to an increased presence of purine / pyrimidine conformations, as compared to hyperthermophilic archaea that contain a majority of purine / purine or pyrimidine / pyrimidine pairings.
