Genome sequencing of Sulfolobus sp. A20 from Costa Rica and comparative analyses of the putative pathways of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur metabolism in various Sulfolobus strains

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The genome of Sulfolobus sp. A20 isolated from a hot spring in Costa Rica was sequenced. This circular genome of the strain is 2,688,317 bp in size and 34.8% in G+C content, and contains 2,591 open reading frames (ORFs). Strain A20 shares ~95.6% identity

Inducible and constitutive promoters for genetic systems in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius [PDF]

, 2018
Central to genetic work in any organism are the availability of a range of inducible and constitutive promoters. In this work we studied several promoters for use in the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. The promoters were tested with

Comparative genomics in acid mine drainage biofilm communities reveals metabolic and structural differentiation of co-occurring archaea [PDF]

, 2016
Background Metal sulfide mineral dissolution during bioleaching and acid mine drainage (AMD) formation creates an environment that is inhospitable to most life. Despite dominance by a small number of bacteria, AMD microbial biofilm communities contain a

Evolution of lysine and arginine biosynthesis revealed by substrate specificity of lysine biosynthetic enzymes in Thermus thermophilus

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 1727-1740, March 2026.
Two enzymes from the Thermus thermophilus lysine biosynthetic pathway, LysZ and LysY, unexpectedly exhibit substrate promiscuity. They are able to recognize the LysW intermediates utilized by the ArgW‐mediated arginine route, even though the bacterium already possesses the canonical arginine biosynthetic pathway.

Metabolism of Pentose Sugars in the Hyperthermophilic Archaea Sulfolobus solfataricus and Sulfolobus acidocaldarius [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2010
We have previously shown that the hyperthermophilic archaeon, Sulfolobus solfataricus, catabolizes d-glucose and d-galactose to pyruvate and glyceraldehyde via a non-phosphorylative version of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway. At each step, one enzyme is active with both C6 epimers, leading to a metabolically promiscuous pathway.

Survival and Biofilm Formation of Pseudomonas Putida Under Glucose Starvation on Model Sand Surfaces

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
P. putida retains viability in sand columns for an extended period of at least 80 days under carbon‐deprivation P. putida increased protein production on their surfaces, enhancing biofilm integrity and adhesion to sand surfaces compared to fed biofilms.

Characterization of the ATPase FlaI of the motor complex of the Pyrococcus furiosus archaellum and its interactions between the ATP-binding protein FlaH [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
The archaellum, the rotating motility structure of archaea, is best studied in the crenarchaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. To better understand how assembly and rotation of this structure is driven, two ATP-binding proteins, FlaI and FlaH of the motor ...

Exploring lipid diversity and minimalism to define membrane requirements for synthetic cells

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 24, Page 3569-3590, December 2025.
Designing the lipid membrane of synthetic cells is a complex task, in which its various roles (among them solute transport, membrane protein support, and self‐replication) should all be integrated. In this review, we report the latest top‐down and bottom‐up advances and discuss compatibility and complexity issues of current engineering approaches ...

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 23, Page 3417-3443, December 2025.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...
