Caldicellulosiruptor Core and Pangenomes Reveal Determinants for Noncellulosomal Thermophilic Deconstruction of Plant Biomass
JOURNAL OF BACTERIOLOGY, 194(15), 4015–4028.
MeSH headings : Adhesins, Bacterial / analysis; Adhesins, Bacterial / genetics; Biomass; Carbohydrate Metabolism; Cellulases / analysis; Cellulases / genetics; Cellulose / metabolism; Genetic Variation; Genome, Bacterial; Gram-Positive Bacteria / enzymology; Gram-Positive Bacteria / genetics; Metabolic Networks and Pathways / genetics; Plants / chemistry; Proteome / analysis
TL;DR:
Taking into account the core genomes, pangenomes, and individual genomes, the ancestral Caldicellulosiruptor was likely cellulolytic and evolved, in some cases, into species that lost the ability to degrade crystalline cellulose while maintaining the capacity to hydrolyze amorphous cellulose and hemICEllulose.

Influence of polymolecular events on inactivation behavior of xylose isomerase from Thermotoga neapolitana 5068
BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOENGINEERING, 62(5), 509–517.
author keywords: Thermotoga neapolitana; xylose isomerase; deamidation; immobilization; inactivation
TL;DR:
The inactivation behavior of the xylose isomerase from Thermotoga neapolitana (TN5068 XI) was examined for both the soluble and immobilized enzyme, and formation of a reversible polymolecular aggregate capable of protecting the soluble enzyme from irreversible deactivation appears to be responsible for the second phase of inactivation seen.
