Thermococcus nautili 30-1 (formerly Thermococcus nautilus), an anaerobic hyperthermophilic marine archaeon, was isolated in 1999 from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent during the Amistad campaign. Here, we present the complete sequence of T. nautili, which is able to produce membrane vesicles containing plasmid DNA. This property makes T. nautili a model organism to study horizontal gene transfer.
鹦鹉螺嗜热栖热菌30-1(以前称为鹦鹉螺嗜热栖热菌)是一种厌氧超嗜热海洋古菌,于1999年在阿密斯塔德考察期间从深海热液喷口中分离出来。在此,我们展示了鹦鹉螺嗜热栖热菌的完整序列,它能够产生含有质粒DNA的膜泡。这一特性使鹦鹉螺嗜热栖热菌成为研究水平基因转移的模式生物。
