Thermophilic Bacteria and Bacteriophages

Effects of Biofertilizer “M-Star” on Land Productivity and Growth of Sweet Corn in Acid Sulphate Soil of Swampland

“…These results were consistent with previous reports, in which application of biofertilizer combined with NPK inorganic fertilizer increase soil and rice plant nutrients in tidal swamplands (Mukhlis, 2012). Farrell and Campbell (1970) that the increase in pH is generally thought to be the result of volatilization and microbial decomposition of organic acids which were originally present, and the release of ammonia by microbes mineralizing organic nitrogen sources. Tan (1998) stated that soil pH was one the most important soil characteristics that might influence other soil properties.…”

The Influence of Inorganic Ions on the Heat Stability of a Thermophilic Bacteriophage

“…which was interpreted as an indication that protein denaturation was primarily responsible for the inactivation. The literature concerning thermophilic bacteriophages has been reviewed by Farrell and Campbell (1969). These authors stated that from the evidence so far available it seems likely that the factors responsible for the thermostability of thermophilic phages reside in some as yet unknown arrangement of the coat protein.…”

Temperature-dependent Azide Sensitivity of Growth and ATPase Activity in the Facultative Thermophile, Bacillus coagulans

“…Facultative thermophiles are capable of growth in both the thermophilic and mesophilic temperature ranges (Farrell & Campbell, 1969). Several reports have suggested that unlike obligate thermophiles, in which the majority of proteins are intrinsically thermostable (Williams, 1975), facultative thermophiles may contain thermolabile enzymes which require modification or stabilization to operate at high growth temperatures.…”
