The pure spinor formalism for the superstring can be formulated as a twistedN=2 worldsheet theory with fermionic generators $j_{BRST}$ and composite $b$ghost. After untwisting the formalism to an N=1 worldsheet theory withfermionic stress tensor $j_{BRST}+b$, the worldsheet variables combine into N=1worldsheet superfields $X^m$ and $\Theta^\alpha$ together with a superfieldconstraint relating $DX^m$ and $D\Theta^\alpha$. The constraint implies thatthe worldsheet superpartner of $\theta^\alpha$ is a bosonic twistor variable,and different solutions of the constraint give rise to the pure spinor orextended RNS formalisms, as well as a new twistor-string formalism withmanifest N=1 worldsheet supersymmetry. These N=1 worldsheet methods generalize in curved Ramond-Ramond backgrounds,and a manifestly N=1 worldsheet supersymmetric action is proposed for thesuperstring in an $AdS_5\times S^5$ background in terms of the twistorsuperfields. This $AdS_5\times S^5$ worldsheet action is a remarkably simplefermionic coset model with manifest $PSU(2,2|4)$ symmetry and might be usefulfor computing $AdS_5\times S^5$ superstring scattering amplitudes.
