Haloferax volcanii harbours four putative proviruses: Halfvol1, Halfvol2, Halfvol3 and Halfvol4. In this study we successfully deleted all four provirus genomes, demonstrating, that they are not essential. Transcriptome comparison between this strain (∆Halfvol1-4) and a wild type strain reveals an i...
