Description
Unal Alkasi and Orhan Ulucay survey heat loving bacteria from a sugar factory in Kars, Turkey, in this 2025 paper. Industrial waste sites can host microbes that make tough, useful enzymes. Samples came from several spots in the factory. The bacteria grew across wide pH and temperature ranges, up to 85 degrees Celsius.
Most strains belonged to Bacillus, Geobacillus, Klebsiella, or Acinetobacter groups. Enzyme production was common in the collection. Protease makers were the most frequent, at about nine in ten isolates. Amylase, xylanase, and lipase makers were also widespread. Many isolates made several enzymes at once. Such strains could serve waste treatment and biofuel production where heat breaks normal enzymes.
