Abstract excerpt
Sulfolobus belongs to the hyperthermophilic archaea and it serves as a model organism to study archaeal molecular biology and evolution. In the last few years, we have focused on developing genetic systems for Sulfolobus islandicus using pyrEF as a selection marker and versatile genetic tools have been developed, including methods for constructing gene knockouts and for identifying essential genes. These genetic...
