The draft genome sequence of Thermotoga maritima A7A was obtained from a metagenomic assembly obtained from a high-temperature hydrocarbon reservoir in the Gippsland Basin, Australia. The organism is predicted to be a motile anaerobe with an array of catabolic enzymes for the degradation of numerous carbohydrates.

The Mediterranean perennial herb Lobularia maritima shows an exceptionally extended flowering and fruiting that lasts for 10 months, from early September to late June. We hypothesized that such an extended phenology may be a flexible mechanism that enhances population persistence in variable Mediterranean environments, as fecundity in one part of the season could compensate for reproductive fai...

Ap Applicati tions ons in in Pl Plant t Scien Sciences ces Plants of species within Lespedeza Michx. sect. Macrolespedeza Maxim. (Fabaceae) are deciduous shrubs mainly distributed in the temperate forests of East Asian countries such as Korea,, hybridization is frequent among these species. Therefore, their taxonomic entities are often unclear. One representative, L. maritima Nakai, is a Korean...

Administration of sodium [1,2-14C2]oxaloacetate and sodium [1-14C]acetate to Scilla maritima plants yielded labelled scillirosid. A systematic degradation of scillirosid indicated that the alpha-pyrone ring of the bufadienolide is formed by the condensation of a pregnane derivative (derived from mevalonic acid via squalene) and one molecule of oxaloacetic acid.

Like all hyperthermophiles yet tested, the bacterium Thermotoga maritima contains a reverse gyrase. Here we show that it contains also a DNA gyrase. The genes top2A and top2B encoding the two subunits of a DNA gyrase-like enzyme have been cloned and sequenced. The Top2A (type II DNA topoisomerase A protein) is more similar to GyrA (DNA gyrase A protein) than to ParC [topoisomerase IV (Topo IV) ...

Cultivation of salt-tolerant crops help to face irreversible global salinization freshwater and soils. In New-Caledonia, three halophytes are candidates for saline crops, Salsola australis R.Br., Suaeda maritima (L.) Dumort Enchylaena tomentosa R.Br. Their success quality depend yet on availabilities salinity essential nutrients in agrosystems. So, we investigated effects salinities, i.e., cont...

Maritime shipping is a complex process because it requires continuous analysis of huge amounts information. Much this information has variable spatial and temporal properties. In addition, the must be effective to help in making decisions timely manner. Generally applied with Spatial On-Line Analytical Processing (SOLAP) basing on data warehouses SDW. Data warehousing by current technologies re...

The reduction of crop yield caused by soil salinization has become a global problem. Halophytes improve saline alkali soil, and the halophyte transcription factors that regulate salt stress are crucial for improving tolerance. In this study, 1466 were identified transcriptome sequencing analysis Glaux maritima leaves after (0, 600, 800 mM/L NaCl). Their genes distributed across 57 factor famili...

The unifying structural characteristic of members of the bacterial order Thermotogales is their toga, an unusual cell envelope that includes a loose-fitting sheath around each cell. Only two toga-associated structural proteins have been purified and characterized in Thermotoga maritima: the anchor protein OmpA1 (or Ompα) and the porin OmpB (or Ompβ). The gene encoding OmpA1 (ompA1) was cloned a...
