Some like it cold: understanding the survival strategies of psychrophiles.
Much of the Earth's surface, both marine and terrestrial, is either periodically or permanently cold. Although habitats that are largely or continuously frozen are generally considered to be inhospitable to life, psychrophilic organisms have managed to survive in these environments. This is attributed to their innate adaptive capacity to cope with cold and its associated stresses. Here, we revi...
متن کاملSome like it cold: biocatalysis at low temperatures.
In the last few years, increased attention has been focused on a class of organisms called psychrophiles. These organisms, hosts of permanently cold habitats, often display metabolic fluxes more or less comparable to those exhibited by mesophilic organisms at moderate temperatures. Psychrophiles have evolved by producing, among other peculiarities, "cold-adapted" enzymes which have the properti...
متن کاملSome like it hot, some like it cold: Temperature dependent biotechnological applications and improvements in extremophilic enzymes.
The full biotechnological exploitation of enzymes is still hampered by their low activity, low stability and high cost. Temperature-dependent catalytic properties of enzymes are a key to efficient and cost-effective translation to commercial applications. Organisms adapted to temperature extremes are a rich source of enzymes with broad ranging thermal properties which, if isolated, characterize...
متن کاملTotal circulatory arrest for the replacement of the descending and thoracoabdominal aorta.
HYPOTHESIS Hypothermic total circulatory arrest (TCA) in the resection and replacement of the thoracoabdominal and descending thoracic aorta is safe, will significantly decrease the incidence of postoperative renal failure, and should be preferentially performed over left heart bypass (LHB). DESIGN Retrospective review case series. SETTING Large, private, urban teaching hospital. PATIENTS...
متن کاملThoracoabdominal aortic replacement for abdominal aortic aneurysm with atypical coarctation of thoracoabdominal aorta following mitral valve plasty.
We successfully treated a case of a 65-year-old female with an abdominal aortic aneurysm coexisting with an atypical coarctation of thoracoabdominal aorta and celiac axis and superior mesenteric artery occlusion. A dilated inferior mesenteric artery was supplying the celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery regions. The patient also had mitral regurgitation. After a mitral valve plasty, we ...
