Aphidicolin inhibits growth and DNA synthesis in halophilic arachaebacteria

P Forterre et al. J Bacteriol. 1984 Aug.

Abstract

Aphidicolin, a specific inhibitor of eucaryotic alpha DNA polymerase, inhibits the growth of halophilic arachaebacteria. In Halobacterium halobium, aphidicolin prevents cell division and DNA synthesis. These results suggest that arachaebacterial replicases are of the eucaryotic type.
