    Notes: Abstract The DNA binding and compacting activities of the recombinant (r) archaeal histones rHMfA and rHMfB from Methanothermus fervidus, and rHPyA1 from Pyrococcus species GB-3a, synthesized in Escherichia coli, have been shown to be completely resistant to incubation for 4 h at 95°C in the presence of 1 M KCl. Continued incubation of rHMfA and rHMfB at 95°C resulted in a gradual loss of these activities, and rHMfA and rHMfB lost activity more rapidly at 95°C when the salt environment was reduced to 200 mM KCl. rHPyA1, in contrast, retained full activity even after a 60-h incubation at 95°C in 1 M KCl, and reducing the salt concentration did not affect the heat resistance of rHPyA1. rHPyA1–DNA complexes remained intact at 100°C, and rHPyA1 bound to the template DNA in in vitro transcription reaction mixtures assembled using Pyrococcus furiosus components at 90°C. Transcription in vitro from the P. furiosus gdh promoter was reduced by rHPyA1 binding, in a manner that was dependent on the histone-to-DNA ratio and on the topology of the DNA template. Transcription from circular templates was more sensitive to rHPyA1 binding than transcription from a linear template, consistent with rHPyA1 binding introducing physical barriers to transcription and causing changes in the topology of circular templates that also reduced transcription.

    Notes: Abstract A new hyperthermophilic, strictly anaerobic crenarchaeote, Stetteria hydrogenophila DSM11227 representing a new genus within the family of Desulfurococcaceae, was isolated from the sediment of a marine hydrothermal system at Paleohori Bay in Milos, Greece. Cells are gram-negative irregular and disc-shaped cocci, 0.5–1.5 μm in diameter, which are flagellate and can form cytoplasmatic protrusions up to 2 μm in length. The strain grew optimally at 95°C at pH 6.0 and at a NaCl concentration of 3%. The organism grew mixotrophically on peptide substrates. It required elemental sulfur as an external electron acceptor, and in addition, its growth was completely dependent on the presence of molecular hydrogen. Sulfur could be replaced by thiosulfate. H2S, CO2, acetate, and ethanol were identified as products of metabolism. The G + C content of DNA was 65 mol%. Analysis of its phylogenetic position by sequence analysis of 16S rRNA placed this organism in the family of Desulfurococcaceae. The dependence of this organism on both hydrogen and sulfur during growth on peptide substrates distinguishes Stetteria from all previously described species of Crenarchaeota.

    Description: We observed significant changes in the elemental and intact polar lipid (IPL) composition of the archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis (KOD1) in response to growth stage and phosphorus supply. Reducing the amount of organic supplements and phosphate in growth media resulted in significant decreases in cell size and cellular quotas of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P), which coincided with significant increases in cellular IPL quota and IPLs comprising multiple P atoms and hexose moieties. Relatively more cellular P was stored as IPLs in P-limited cells (2-8%) compared to control cells (〈0.8%). We also identified a specific IPL biomarker containing a phosphatidyl-N-acetylhexoseamine headgroup that was relatively enriched during rapid cell division. These observations serve as empirical evidence of IPL adaptations in Archaea that will help to interpret the distribution of these biomarkers in natural systems. The reported cell quotas of C, N, and P represent the first such data for a specific archaeon and suggest that thermophiles are C-rich compared to the cell carbon-to-volume relationship reported for planktonic bacteria.
