Symbiobacterium thermophilum is an obligately symbiotic thermophile that can grow only in coculture with a specific Bacillus strain. The amino acid sequences of fragments obtained by cyanogen bromide decomposition of the thermostable fl-tyrosinase (tyrosine phenol-lyase, E.C. 4.1.99.2) from this org
A 6.4 Kb HindIII fragment of Bacillus stearothermophilus DY-5 DNA cloned in Escherichia coli using pBR322 as a vector was shown to direct the synthesis of a thermophilic alpha-amylase. In attempts to reduce the size of the insert, the alpha-amylase gene was shown to be contained in a 3.1 Kb HindIII
Cellobiose, the last product in cellulose degradation, is converted into two molecules of glucose by a beta-glucosidase. S. cerevisiae does posses the structural gene for a beta-glucosidase, but it is very poorly expressed; we thus decided to isolate and characterize that of Kluyveromyces fragilis.
