Comparison of pMGB1, a Sulfolobus plasmid of the pNOB8-like conjugative family, with a selected region of Metallosphaera sedulla DSM 5348 genome, showing the intergenus transfer. c. PCA of Sulfolobales cells, viruses and plasmids, as well as the newly identified Integrative Conjugative Element present in Metallosphaera sedulla DSM 5348 genome (iCEmse)
