Genetic elements in the extremely thermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus

W Zillig et al. Extremophiles. 1998 Aug.

Abstract

This minireview summarizes what is known about genetic elements in the archaeal crenarchaeotal genus Sulfolobus, including recent work on viruses, cryptic plasmids, a novel type of virus satellite plasmids or satellite viruses, and conjugative plasmids (CPs), mostly from our laboratory. It does not discuss IS elements and transposons.
