Phenotypic characterization of the archaebacterial genus Sulfolobus: comparison of five wild-type strains
Open accessAbstract
Though amenable to routine manipulation and a popular subject of molecular genetic and biochemical studies on archaebacteria, the genus Sulfolobus has remained poorly described in phenotypic terms. To delineate their physiological capabilities and diversity, five laboratory strains, including type strains of the described species Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and S. solfataricus, were compared with respect to a variety of growth and biochemical parameters, including component profile of the surface-layer cell wall, inhibitors of growth, growth rate as a function of temperature and pH, and compounds used as sole sources of carbon or nitrogen. Motility and photoregulated production of an orange pigment were detected in all five strains tested. The results provide new criteria for distinguishing Sulfolobus strains as well as potential tools for the physiological and genetic manipulation of these extreme thermophiles.

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.
