Cell Structure Changes in the Hyperthermophilic Crenarchaeon Sulfolobus islandicus Lacking the S-Layer

The S-layer is considered to be the sole component of the cell wall in Sulfolobales, a taxonomic group within the Crenarchaeota whose cellular features have been suggested to have a close relationship to the last archaea-eukaryote common ancestor.
