Species code:	SULAC
Taxonomy:	Archaea; Crenarchaeota; Thermoprotei; Sulfolobales; Sulfolobaceae; Sulfolobus (TaxID: 2285) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Sulfolobus acidocaldarius is an aerobic thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon which grows optimally at 80 degrees Celsius and pH 2 to 3 in terrestrial solfataric springs. The genome contains an integrated, and certainly encaptured, pARN-type conjugative plasmid that could facilitate intercellular chromosomal gene exchange.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: not known Interaction: No Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of SULAC entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 2221 (315 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 1906 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)

Genome structure:	Chromosome EMBL accession number CP000077 (circular; 2,225,959 bp) (download entry) (download Genome Reviews).
