Selectable mutant phenotypes of the extremely thermophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus acidocaldarius.

Abstract excerpt

As a first step toward developing the genetic potential of extremely thermophilic archaebacteria, mutant strains of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius were selected by plating cells directly on solid medium containing one of several growth inhibitors. Three spontaneous resistance phenotypes were observed...
