Abstract
  • Extremophiles are microorganisms that flourish in habitats of extreme temperature, pH, salinity, or pressure. All extreme environments are dominated by microorganisms belonging to Archaea, the third domain of life, evolutionary distinct from Bacteria and Eucarya. Over the past few years the biology of extremophilic Archaea has stimulated a lot of interest, aimed at understanding at molecular level the adaptation to their life conditions, as well as their evolutionary relationships to other organisms. Here, we review recent insights in the molecular biology of thermoacidophilic Archaea of the genus Sulfolobus, which has been used as a model system for biochemical, structural, and genetic studies in Archaea and extremophiles in general. With the recent completion of the genome sequence of Sulfolobus solfataricus it is expected that these organisms will contribute new discoveries in the near future. (literal)
