Sulfolobus acidocaldarius is a thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon with optimal growth at 80 degrees C and pH 2 to 3. Due to its unique physiological properties, allowing life at environmental extremes, and the recent availability of genetic tools, this extremophile has received increasing interest for b...
