These microorganisms have been model systems for understanding life in extreme environments, as well as for probing the evolution of both molecular genetic processes and central metabolic pathways. Thermoacidophiles, such as the Sulfolobales, use typical microbial responses to persist in hot acid (e.g. motility, stress response, biofilm formation), albeit with some unusual twists. They also exhibit unique physiological features, including iron and sulfur chemolithoautotrophy, that differentiate them from much of the microbial world. Although first discovered >50 years ago, it was not until recently that genome sequence data and facile genetic tools have been developed for species in the Sulfolobales. These advances have not only opened up ways to further probe novel features of these microbes but also paved the way for their potential biotechnological applications. Discussed here are the nuances of the thermoacidophilic lifestyle of the Sulfolobales, including their evolutionary placement, cell biology, survival strategies, genetic tools, metabolic processes and physiological attributes together with how these characteristics make thermoacidophiles ideal platforms for specialized industrial processes.}, number={4}, journal={FEMS Microbiology Reviews}, publisher={Oxford University Press (OUP)}, author={Lewis, April M and Recalde, Alejandra and Bräsen, Christopher and Counts, James A and Nussbaum, Phillip and Bost, Jan and Schocke, Larissa and Shen, Lu and Willard, Daniel J and Quax, Tessa E F and et al.}, year={2021}, month={Jan} } @article{counts_vitko_kelly_2020, title={Genome Sequences of Five Type Strain Members of the Archaeal Family Sulfolobaceae, Acidianus ambivalens, Acidianus infernus, Stygiolobus azoricus, Sulfuracidifex metallicus, and Sulfurisphaera ohwakuensis}, volume={9}, ISSN={["2576-098X"]}, DOI={10.1128/MRA.01490-19}, number={11}, journal={MICROBIOLOGY RESOURCE ANNOUNCEMENTS}, author={Counts, James A. and Vitko, Nicholas P. and Kelly, Robert M.}, year={2020}, month={Mar} } @article{counts_willard_kelly_2020, title={Life in hot acid: a genome‐based reassessment of the archaeal order Sulfolobales}, volume={23}, ISSN={1462-2912 1462-2920}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/1462-2920.15189}, DOI={10.1111/1462-2920.15189}, number={7}, journal={Environmental Microbiology}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Counts, James A. and Willard, Daniel J. and Kelly, Robert M.}, year={2020}, month={Sep}, pages={3568–3584} } @article{zeldes_loder_counts_haque_widney_keller_albers_kelly_2019, title={Determinants of sulphur chemolithoautotrophy in the extremely thermoacidophilic Sulfolobales}, volume={21}, ISSN={["1462-2920"]}, DOI={10.1111/1462-2920.14712}, number={10}, journal={ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY}, author={Zeldes, Benjamin M. and Loder, Andrew J. and Counts, James A. and Haque, Mashkurul and Widney, Karl A. and Keller, Lisa M. and Albers, Sonja-Verena and Kelly, Robert M.}, year={2019}, month={Oct}, pages={3696–3710} } @article{wheaton_vitko_counts_dulkis_podolsky_mukherjee_kelly_2019, title={Extremely Thermoacidophilic Metallosphaera Species Mediate Mobilization and Oxidation of Vanadium and Molybdenum Oxides}, volume={85}, ISSN={["1098-5336"]}, DOI={10.1128/AEM.02805-18}, number={5}, journal={APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY}, author={Wheaton, Garrett H. and Vitko, Nicholas P. and Counts, James A. and Dulkis, Jessica A. and Podolsky, Igor and Mukherjee, Arpan and Kelly, Robert M.}, year={2019}, month={Mar} } @misc{straub_counts_nguyen_wu_zeldes_crosby_conway_otten_lipscomb_schut_et al._2018, title={Biotechnology of extremely thermophilic archaea}, volume={42}, ISSN={["1574-6976"]}, DOI={10.1093/femsre/fuy012}, number={5}, journal={FEMS MICROBIOLOGY REVIEWS}, author={Straub, Christopher T. and Counts, James A. and Nguyen, Diep M.
