    Notes: Summary Hyperthermostable proteases were characterized from five archaeobacterial species (Thermococcus celer, T. stetteri, Thermococcus strain AN 1, T. litoralis, Staphylothermus marinus) and the hyperthermophilic eubacterium Thermobacteroides proteolyticus. These proteases, which were found to be of the serine type, exhibited a preference for phenylalanine in the carboxylic side of the peptide. The enzymes from Thermococcus stetteri and T. litoralis hydrolysed most substrates (peptides) tested. All proteases were extremely thermostable and demonstrated optimal activities between 80 and 95°C. The pH optimum was either neutral (T. celer, Thermococcus strain AN 1) or alkaline. The protease of Thermobacteroides proteolyticus was optimally active at pH 9.5. Zymogram staining showed the presence of multiple protease bands for all strains investigated.

    Notes: Abstract The cultivation of the hyperthermophilic archaeobacterium Pyrococcus woesei on starch under continuous gassing (80% H2:20% CO2) caused the formation of 250 U/l of an extremely thermoactive and thermostable α-amylase. In a complex medium without elemental sulphur under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 atmosphere enzyme production could be elevated up to 1000 U/l. Pyrococcus woesei grew preferentially on poly-and oligosaccharides. The amylolytic enzyme formation was constitutive. Enzyme production was also observed in continuous culture at dilution rates from 0.1 to 0.4 h-1. A 20-fold enrichment of α-amylase was achieved after adsorption of the enzyme onto starch and its desorption by preparative gel electrophoresis. The α-amylase consisted of a single subunit with a molecular mass of 70 000 and was catalytically active at a temperature range between 40°C and 130°C. Enzymatic activity was detected even after autoclaving at a pressure of 2 bars at 120°C for 5 h. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed exclusively α-1,4-glycosidic linkages present in glucose polymers of various sizes. Unlike many α-amylases from anaerobes the enzyme from P. woesei was unable to attack short chain oligosaccharides with a chain length between 2 and 6 glucose units.
