单词 thermophile
释义

Definition of thermophile in English:

thermophile

nounˈθəːmə(ʊ)fʌɪlˈθərməˌfaɪl
Microbiology
  • A bacterium or other microorganism that grows best at higher than normal temperatures.

    〔微生物〕嗜热细菌,喜温微生物

    Example sentencesExamples
    • A preeminent expert on thermophiles, Karl Stetter, a man responsible for naming a good fraction of the archaea, used some of the language of the DNA world, but clearly wanted to point to its limitations.
    • Previous comparisons of high-resolution crystal structures of enzymes with the same fold and function in mesophiles, thermophiles and hyperthermophiles have revealed a number of potentially stabilizing features.
    • However, in that analysis, 10% of the bacteria but 78% of the archaea were thermophiles.
    • In particular, these findings are elucidative to understand mechanisms of thermal adaptation of thermophiles, and for developing thermostable enzymes for biotechnological applications.
    • Back on the boat, Craig told me a little more about his forays to collect thermophiles on the ocean floor.
    • The proteins of thermophiles appear to be reinforced by special sequences of amino acids, and have increased ion-pair content buried inside the protein, which, it has been argued, leads to greater intrinsic stability.
    • The genome of halobacterium and thermophiles will give insight into new sorts of biochemistry.
    • As described above, the molecular machinery of thermophiles works in ways we don't yet completely understand.
    • In contrast, we here extended a similar search with respect to a group consisting of both thermophiles and hyperthermophiles i.e. the currently 3 organisms with optimal growth temperatures between 55 and 80°C were included.
    • For example, thermophiles are organisms that live under conditions of extreme high temperature.

    • Meanwhile, Earth-dwelling extremophile microorganisms, both thermophilic (heat-loving) and psychrophilic (cold-loving), are variously adapted to temperatures that would fry us or freeze us.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Here, I compared sequences from the mesophilic bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans, whose genome has been completely sequenced, with Thermus thermophilus, a thermophilic bacterium that is related to Deinococcus.
      • Yeates and colleagues have considerably advanced our understanding of how proteins withstand and function at high temperatures via stabilizing disulfide bonds in these thermophilic organisms.
      • Understanding the structural basis for the enhanced stability of proteins from hyperthermophilic organisms relative to their mesophilic and thermophilic counterparts is a highly relevant but complex and challenging problem.
      • These newer polymerases have been isolated from a diverse variety of thermophilic organisms and show different enzymatic properties.

      • There has been a growing interest in understanding the stabilization of proteins from these organisms, especially those from thermophilic bacteria.
