The bacterium Thermus thermophilus, like hyperthermophilic archaea, uses a two-step pathway for the synthesis of mannosylglycerate
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on solute alpha-mannosylglycerate in thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus HB27. The authors report that biosynthetic pathway for the synthesis of this alpha-mannosylglycerate has been identified via the studies of activities of recombinant mannosyl-3-phosphoglycerate synthase and mannosyl-3-phosphoglycerate phosphatase.

Transposon mutagenesis in purple sulfur photosynthetic bacteria: identification of hypF, encoding a protein capable of processing [NiFe] hydrogenases in alpha, beta, and gamma subdivisons of the Proteobacteria
Article Abstract:
Researchers created a mutant of the purple photosynthetic bacterium Thiocapsa roseopersicina BBS that might be used in biohydrogen-producing systems. The mutation is in a gene whose product has high sequence similarity to HypF bacterial proteins.
