Abstract excerpt
Our understanding of the genetics of species of the best-studied hyperthermophilic archaea, Pyrococcus spp., is presently limited by the lack of suitable genetic tools, such as a stable cloning vector and the ability to select individual transformants on plates. Here we describe the development of a reliable host-vector system for the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus abyssi. Shuttle vectors were constructed...
