Abstract excerpt
A genetic approach was used to establish the route of UMP biosynthesis in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, a member of the hyperthermophilic division (the Crenarchaeota) of the Archaea domain. Pyrimidine auxotrophs of S. acidocaldarius DG6 were isolated by direct selection and by brute-force methods. Enzymatic assay of extracts from wild-type S. acidocaldarius, from pyrimidine auxotrophs, and from phenotypic revertants...
