| Research Abstract |
Living microorganisms face various kinds of stress and protect themselves by inducing several stress-responsive proteins. Among all microorganism, hyperthemophiles that grow above 85℃ are considered as one of most primitive microorganisms. It is unclear how hyperthermophile adapts to environmental changes such as temperature stress and nutrient starvation. In the present study, adaptation mechanisms of hyperthermophiles to environmental changes were focused and analyzed using hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakaraensis as a model microorganism.
