Etymology

From thermophilic + -ity.

Meanings

  1. (uncountable) The quality or state of being thermophilic.
    • However, most xylanases reported to date are active and stable at mesophilic temperatures and neutral or weakly acidic pH. Investigators have carried out much research on the thermophilicity of family 11 xylanases, which can contribute to improving the thermophilicity of mesophilic enzymes for industrial applications. 2015 July 11, “Structural Insight into and Mutational Analysis of Family 11 Xylanases: Implications for Mechanisms of Higher pH Catalytic Adaptation”, in PLOS ONE, →DOI:
