Description

Sulfolobus acidocaldarius is an aerobic thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon which grows optimally at 80 degrees Celsius and pH 2 to 3 in terrestrial solfataric springs. The genome contains an integrated, and certainly encaptured, pARN-type conjugative plasmid that could facilitate intercellular chromosomal gene exchange. (HAMAP: SULAC)
