| dc.description | Genetic tools have been developed for studying the molecular biology of the halophilic archaebacterium, Haloferax volcanii. Shuttle vectors and a transformation system facilitate direct cloning of archaebacterial genes, and allow the reintroduction of in vitro-altered DNA into Hf. volcanii. The archaebacterial genes isolated have in turn provided the necessary genetic markers for further development of strategies for genetic mapping and for direct manipulation of the chromosome. | en_US |
| dc.description | Several of these genetic techniques are applied to describe genes for tryptophan biosynthesis and mevalonic acid biosynthesis, to determine the organization of functionally-related genes, and to map auxotrophic mutations to the Hf. volcanii chromosome. | en_US |
