Figure 1: Source of J1 enrichment and degradation of filter paper.

From: Identification and characterization of a multidomain hyperthermophilic cellulase from an archaeal enrichment

(a) Source of the J1 enrichment. A circumneutral geothermal pool at 94 °C, with a level-maintaining syphon. Sediment from the floor of this site was enriched on pulverized Miscanthus at 90 °C and subsequently transferred to filter paper enriched media. (b) Degradation of filter paper by the J1 enrichment culture in a spherical 2 l culture flask. Circular discs of Whatman No. 3 filter paper were shredded and partially dissolved after incubation for 30 days at 90 °C. (c) Control Whatman No. 3 filter paper discs. Incubation as in panel b.
