چکیده
The shape of the chromosomal DNA of the sulfur-dependent archaebacterium Sulfolobus acidocaldarius was analyzed by the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis(PFGE). S.acidocaldarius DNA digested with Notl showed two DNA bands at around 1.0 Mbp and 2.1 Mbp. Notl-linking clones were isolated from the library of S.acidocaldarius chromosomal DNA. It contained two Notl sites. Both 1.0 and 2.1 Mbp DNA band separated by PFGE were hybridized with the two independent Notl-linking fragment. Each right and left arms of two Notl-linking fragments were hybridized with one of the two DNA bands separated by PFGE. The results indicated that the chromosomal DNA of S.acidocaldarius is circular.

High Efficiency of Plating of the Thermophilic Sulfur-Dependent Archaebacterium Sulfolobus acidocaldarius.
A procedure for plating Sulfolobus acidocaldarius using Gelrite as the gelling agent is presented. The technique uses a supporting gel of 0.8% (wt/vol) Gelrite and an overlay soft gel of 0.4% (wt/vol) Gelrite, in which the colonies are grown. The plating efficiency was essentially 100%.
متن کاملArchaebacterial Citrate Synthases: The Enzymes from the Thermoacidophiles Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and Thermoplasma acidophilum Show pro-S Stereospecificity
Citrate synthase from the thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus acidocaldarius was purified 365-fold to electrophoretic homogeneity. At 40 °C and pH 8.1 the homogeneous enzyme shows a specific activity of 73 units per mg, which corresponds to a turnover number of 44 sec-1. Citrate synthase from S. acidocaldarius shows pro-S stereospecificity, as is found with a partially purified prepara...
متن کاملSequences of the 5S rRNAs of the thermo-acidophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus solfataricus (Caldariella acidophila) and the thermophilic eubacteria Bacillus acidocaldarius and Thermus aquaticus.
We have determined the nucleotide sequences of the 5 S rRNAs of three thermophilic bacteria: the archaebacterium Sulfolobus solfataricus, also named Caldariella acidophila, and the eubacteria Bacillus acidocaldarius and Thermus aquaticus. A 5 S RNA sequence for the latter species had already been published, but it looked suspect on the basis of its alignment with other 5 S RNA sequences and its...
متن کاملThe genome of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, a model organism of the Crenarchaeota.
Sulfolobus acidocaldarius is an aerobic thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon which grows optimally at 80 degrees C and pH 2 in terrestrial solfataric springs. Here, we describe the genome sequence of strain DSM639, which has been used for many seminal studies on archaeal and crenarchaeal biology. The circular genome carries 2,225,959 bp (37% G+C) with 2,292 predicted protein-encoding genes. Many of t...
متن کاملArchaebacterial histone-like proteins. Purification and characterization of helix stabilizing DNA binding proteins from the acidothermophile Sulfolobus acidocaldarius.
Four DNA binding histone-like proteins have been purified from the nucleoid of the acidothermophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus acidocaldarius to homogeneity employing DNA-cellulose chromatography and carboxymethylcellulose chromatography. The molecular weights of these proteins are in the range 8,000-12,500. Immunoblotting results suggest that a few antigenic determinants are common among thes...
