    Characterization of carotenoids in Rhodothermus marinus 
    Ron, Emanuel Y. C.; Plaza, Merichel; Kristjánsdóttir, Þórdís; Sardari, Roya R. R.; Björnsdóttir, Snædís; Guðmundsson, Steinn; Hreggvidsson, Gudmundur Oli; Turner, Charlotta; van Niel, Ed W. J.; Nordberg-Karlsson, Eva (Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-10-17)
    Rhodothermus marinus, a marine aerobic thermophile, was first isolated from an intertidal hot spring in Iceland. In recent years, the R. marinus strain PRI 493 has been genetically modified, which opens up possibilities for targeted metabolic engineering ...

    Comparative Analysis of Microbial Diversity Across Temperature Gradients in Hot Springs From Yellowstone and Iceland 
    Podar, Peter T.; Yang, Zamin; Björnsdóttir, Snædís; Podar, Mircea (Frontiers Media SA, 2020-07-14)
    Geothermal hot springs are a natural setting to study microbial adaptation to a wide range of temperatures reaching up to boiling. Temperature gradients lead to distinct microbial communities that inhabit their optimum niches. We sampled three alkaline, ...

    Engineering the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway in Rhodothermus marinus for lycopene production 
    Kristjánsdóttir, Þórdís; Ron, Emanuel Y.C.; Molins-Delgado, Daniel; Fridjonsson, Olafur; Turner, Charlotta; Björnsdóttir, Snædís; Guðmundsson, Steinn; van Niel, Ed W.J.; Karlsson, Eva Nordberg; Hreggvidsson, Gudmundur Oli (Elsevier BV, 2020-12)
    Rhodothermus marinus has the potential to be well suited for biorefineries, as an aerobic thermophile that produces thermostable enzymes and is able to utilize polysaccharides from different 2nd and 3rd generation biomass. The bacterium produces valuable ...
