S. islandicus |
| Y.G.57.14 |
S. islandicus was originally isolated from Iceland by Wolfram Zillig (Zillig, et al., 1994). Below, a 16S phylogeny showing the evolutionary relationships among the other sequenced Sulfolobus genomes as well as the closely related genus Metallosphaera.
Although no resolution is provided by 16S rRNA, the phylogeny of shared core genes shows that S. islandicus is distinct from S. solfataricus.
