Where is Sulfolobus Acidocaldarius found?
Yellowstone National Park
The hot springs where S. acidocaldarius is found, such as those in Yellowstone National Park that are over 200 degrees Fahrenheit, can experience fluctuating acidity. This organism is also found in volcanic craters, deep-sea hydrothermal vents and other acidic environments with both moderate and cold temperatures.
Is Sulfolobus a fungi?
Sulfolobus is one of the best characterized genera of the Archaea.
Where is Sulfolobus located?
solfataricus has been found in different areas including Yellowstone National Park, Mount St. Helens, Iceland, Italy, and Russia to name a few. Sulfolobus is located almost wherever there is volcanic activity. They thrive in environments where the temperature is about 80 °C with a pH at about 3 and sulfur present.
How does Sulfolobus Acidocaldarius survive?
The viruses infect Sulfolobus to survive in the extremely acidic environment. Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, strain B12, harbors a double-stranded DNA species both as a plasmid and in a linear form, and produces virus-like particles, SAV 1, upon Ultraviolet radiation [7].

What conditions do the extremophile Sulfolobus Acidocaldarius survive under?
At Yellowstone National Park and similar sites, extremophiles reside in environments such as acid hot springs or thermal acid soils. Here, they are exposed, often intermittently, to some of the lowest naturally-occurring pHs on Earth and temperatures nearing the boiling point of water.
How does Sulfolobus Acidocaldarius obtain energy?
Sulfolobus acidocaldarius obtains energy by aerobic respiration and complete oxidation of organic compounds via the oxidative TCA cycle forming reduced electron carriers [i.e., NAD(P)H, Fdred and FADH2].
Is Sulfolobus a Heterotroph or Autotroph?
Complex lipids from the thermoacidophilic facultative autotroph Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, as well as a strictly autotrophic isolate, were compared between cells grown on yeast extract and elemental sulfur. Lipids from both organisms grown autotrophically were nearly identical.
