With this system we observed and quantified the dynamics of cell division in the model thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius with unprecedented resolution. In addition, we observed ...

Sulfolobus acidocaldarius thrives in geothermal mud pools like this one in New Zealand. Credit: Lancaster University A novel connection between primordial organisms and complex life has been ...

The company’s flagship product uses an enzyme discovered in the extremophile archaea Sulfolobus solfataricus, which lives in volcanic pools near Mount Vesuvius. The Solfatara volcano near Naples gives ...

State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Technology, Jiangnan University, 1800 Lihu Avenue, Wuxi 214122, China School of Biotechnology and Key Laboratory of Industrial Biotechnology Ministry of ...

The team directly proved this idea by identifying the protein that creates the unusual membrane structure in the species Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. The structures of some organisms' membranes are ...

We show that deletion of this protein in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius prevents production of calditol-linked membrane lipids and, in turn, inhibits cell growth at extremely low pH. Our findings also ...

Rob Cipolla, a senior majoring in chemical engineering, won second place in the Food, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotechnology division for his poster titled: “Elucidating the Metabolism of Sulfolobus ...

Liposomes containing lipids from Sulfolobus islandicus withstand intestinal bile salts: An approach for oral drug delivery? International Journal of Pharmaceutics , 2015; 493 (1-2): 63 DOI: 10. ...

Total cell counts and colony counts were determined in biofilm suspensions. The total cell number was determined by staining with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; 25 μg mL −1 in 2% formaldehyde, ...

To reveal the structural basis for the reaction and substrate recognition mechanisms of these enzymes from the same organism, we crystallized EXOIII and APE from the crenarchaeon, Sulfolobus tokodaii ...
