Abstract
We describe a transformation system for extremely thermophilic archaea of the genus Sulfolobus in the kingdom Crenarchaeota. We have constructed in vitro a recombinant derivative of the recently described conjugative plasmid pNOB8, containing a beta-galactosidase gene downstream of a strong promotor. Transformation of a beta-galactosidase negative mutant of Sulfolobus solfataricus with this construct resulted in its spreading through the culture containing the primary transformants and in efficient restoration of beta-galactosidase activity.Entities:
