Temperature, not LuxS, mediates AI-2 formation in hydrothermal habitats
FEMS MICROBIOLOGY ECOLOGY, 68(2), 173–181.
author keywords: autoinducer-2; AI-2; hyperthermophiles; hydrothermal environments; Thermotoga maritima; Pyrococcus furiosus
MeSH headings : Bacterial Proteins / genetics; Bacterial Proteins / metabolism; Carbon-Sulfur Lyases / genetics; Carbon-Sulfur Lyases / metabolism; Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry; Gene Expression Regulation, Bacterial; Homoserine / analogs & derivatives; Homoserine / biosynthesis; Hot Temperature; Lactones; Pyrococcus furiosus / genetics; Pyrococcus furiosus / metabolism; Quorum Sensing; Thermotoga maritima / genetics; Thermotoga maritima / metabolism
TL;DR:
Autoinducer-2 (AI-2), a boronated furanone and proposed 'universal' interspecies mesophilic bacterial communication signal, could be formed by Thermotoga maritima and Pyrococcus furiosus through a combination of biotic and abiotic reaction steps, but did not induce any detectable quorum-sensing phenotypes in these organisms.

Genorne-wide transcriptional variation within and between steady states for continuous growth of the hyperthermophile Thermotoga maritima
APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY, 71(9), 5572–5576.
TL;DR:
Maltose-limited, continuous growth of the hyperthermophile Thermotoga maritima at different temperatures and dilution rates showed that transcriptome-wide variation in gene expression within mechanical steady states was minimal compared to that between steady states, supporting the efficacy of chemostat-based approaches for functional genomics studies.

Transcriptional analysis of dynamic heat-shock response by the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima
EXTREMOPHILES, 8(3), 209–217.
