Abstract excerpt
The hyperthermophile Pyrococcus yayanosii CH1 is the only high-pressure-requiring microorganism obtained thus far within the archaea domain or among all non-psychrophiles in any domain. In this study, we developed a genetic manipulation system for P. yayanosii after first isolating a facultatively piezophilic derivative strain, designated P. yayanosii A1. The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA)...
