Genetic manipulations in hyperthermophiles have been studied for over 20 years. However, the extremely high temperatures under which these organisms grow have limited the development of genetic tools. In this study, an HHP-inducible promoter was used to control the expression of a toxin. Compared to sugar-inducible and cold-shock-inducible promoters, the HHP-inducible promoter rarely has negative effects on the overall physiology and central metabolism of microorganisms, especially piezophilic hyperthermophiles. Previous studies have used auxotrophic strains as hosts, which may interfere with studies of adaptation and metabolism. Using an inducible toxin-antitoxin (TA) system as a counterselectable marker enables the generation of a markerless gene disruption strain without the use of auxotrophic mutants and counterselection with 5-fluoroorotic acid. TA systems are widely distributed in bacteria and archaea and can be used to overcome the limitations of high growth temperatures and dramatically extend the selectivity of genetic tools in hyperthermophiles.
