The particle SSV1 from the extremely thermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus is a virus: demonstration of infectivity and of transfection with viral DNA.
Open accessAbstract
The lemon-shaped "virus-like" particle SSV1 produced by the thermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus shibatae has not previously been observed to infect any host. Using a plaque assay suitable for the extreme growth conditions of this archaeon, we have shown infection of Sulfolobus solfataricus by SSV1. Upon infection, the viral genome was always found integrated into a tRNA gene of the host chromosome, a situation similar to that in S. shibatae, proving that site-specific integration is involved in establishing the lysogenic state. As in S. shibatae, UV-irradiation of lysogenized S. solfataricus led to virus production apparently not accompanied by cell lysis. We have also demonstrated the efficient uptake of exogenous DNA and its expression in Sulfolobus by transfecting S. solfataricus with SSV1 DNA by electroporation. Transfection efficiencies of up to 10(6) transfectants per microgram of DNA were obtained.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
