Geobacillus stearothermophilus (formally Bacillus stearothermophilus) is a rod-shaped, Gram-positive bacterium and a member of the division Firmicutes. The bacteria is a thermophile and is widely distributed in soil, hot springs, ocean sediment, and is a cause of spoilage in food products. It will grow within a temperature range of 30-75 degrees Celsius. Some strains are capable of oxidizing carbon monoxide aerobically. It is commonly used as a challenge organism for sterilization validation studies and periodic check of sterilization cycles.

HAD

YniC is a sugar phosphatase belonging to the superfamily of haloacid dehalogenase (HAD)-like hydrolases. Its preferred substrate is 2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphate [Kuznetsova06]. The phosphatase activity of YniC was first discovered in a high-throughput screen of purified proteins [Kuznetsova05]. Phosphatase activity of YniC is dependent on the presence of a divalent cation such as Mg2+, which appears to affect substrate binding [Kuznetsova06].

GlnH

The GlnHPQ high-affinity glutamine transport system is a member of the ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) Superfamily of transporters [Wu95]. Based on sequence similarity, GlnH is the periplasmic glutamine-binding protein, GlnQ is the ATP-binding component, and GlnP is the membrane component of the ABC transporter. 12.gif
