Description

Sulfolobus islandicus (strain M.16.4 / Kamchatka 3) is a thermo-acidophilic archaeon commonly identified in hot, acidic sulfur springs and isolated from a hot spring on the Kamchatka Penninsula, in the Russian Far East. S. islandicus can grow both chemoautotrophically, using sulfur or hydrogen sulfide, and heterotrophically. Like other Sulfolobus spp., S. islandicus can play host to a number of plasmids and viruses which may be useful in developing tools for genetic analysis.
