Abstract
Genetic manipulation is an essential tool to investigate complex microbiological phenomena. In this chapter we describe the techniques required to transform the model hyperthermophilic, anaerobic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis. T. kodakarensis can support two modes of genetic manipulation, dependent either on homologous recombination into the genome or through retention of autonomously replicating plasmids. The robust genetic system developed in T. kodakarensis offers a variety of selectable and counterselectable markers for complex, accurate and iterative genetic manipulations offering greater flexibility to probe gene function in vivo.Entities:
