Abstract

Perception of archaebacteria as a separate urkingdom of organisms sparked an immediate interest to compare their mechanisms of energy conservation and the respective catalysts with those of eubacteria and eucaryotes for a better understanding of the evolution of involved proteins. Among these organisms, Sulfolobus acidocaldarius represents the group of extremely thermoacidophilic sulfur metabolizing archaebacteria living aerobically at 70-80°C and pH2-3. Our investigations summarized in the following were conducted with the type-strain DSM 639 grown heterotrophically.
