Deliverables

Genome sequences of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and Hyperthermus butylicus and genomic microarrays of Sulfolobus

Two complete genome sequences and complete microarrays for Sulfolobus genomes. Potentially useful for searching for genes and gene products of potential commercial interest and the expression of genes intracellularly. All of the gene products are highly thermostable and the enzymes are of potential interest for many industrial and biotechnological processes.
