This review outlines current research in heap bioleaching, particularly in respect of the
bioleaching of chalcopyrite, assesses the status of the bioprocessing of copper sulphides …

Prokaryotes contain short DNA repeats known as CRISPR, recognizable by the regular
spacing existing between the recurring units. They represent the most widely distributed …

We recently reported the discovery and preliminary characterization of Mimivirus, the largest
known virus, with a 400-nanometer particle size comparable to mycoplasma. Mimivirus is a …

The genome of the crenarchaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 contains 2,992,245 bp on a
single chromosome and encodes 2,977 proteins and many RNAs. One-third of the encoded …

Over 5100 bacterial viruses have been examined in the electron microscope since 1959.
About 4950 phages (96%) are tailed and only 186 phages (3.6%), are cubic, filamentous, or …

In contrast to the high accumulation in sequence data for hyperthermophilic archaea,
methodology for genetically manipulating these strains is still at an early stage. This study …

This review presents a personal account of research on archaeal viruses and describes
many new viral species and families, demonstrating that viruses of Archaea constitute a …

Of the three domains of life (Eukarya, Bacteria, and Archaea), the least understood is
Archaea and its associated viruses. Many Archaea are extremophiles, with species that are …

Sulfolobus islandicus is being used as a model for studying archaeal biology, geo-biology
and evolution. However, no genetic system is available for this organism. To produce an S …
