Hot and crispy : CRISPR-Cas systems in the hyperthermophile Sulfolobus solfataricus [PDF]
, 2013 The CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) and Cas (CRISPR-associated) genes are widely spread in bacteria and archaea, representing an intracellular defence system against invading viruses and plasmids.

Characterisation of Sulfolobus solfataricus Ard1, a promiscuous N-acetyltransferase [PDF]
, 2008 Compaction of DNA into chromatin is an important feature of every living cell. This compaction phenomenon is brought about and maintained by a variety of DNA binding proteins, which have evolved to suit the specific needs of the different cell types ...

Electron cryo-microscopy reveals the structure of the archaeal thread filament
Nature Communications, 2022 Pili are filamentous appendages on the surface of bacteria and archaea, and play roles in multiple processes such as adhesion, motility and horizontal gene transfer. Here, Gaines et al. describe the structure of a new type of pilus, termed ‘thread’, from

Genetic engineering of sulfur-degrading Sulfolobus [PDF]
, 1991 The objectives of the proposed research is to first establish a plasmid-mediated genetic transformation system for the sulfur degrading Sulfolobus, and then to clone and overexpress the genes encoding the organic-sulfur-degrading enzymes from Sulfolobus-
