Query: NC_000909:404961 Methanocaldococcus jannaschii DSM 2661, complete genome

Lineage: Methanocaldococcus jannaschii; Methanocaldococcus; Methanocaldococcaceae; Methanococcales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: Methane-producing thermophilic archeon. Isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent in the east Pacific Rise in 1982. This organism is an obligately anaerobic methane-producing archeon and was the first representative of the archaeal domain to be completely sequenced. The cells require a pH of 5.2-7 with 1.0-5.0% NaCl, optimal conditions are pH 6.0 and 3% NaCl. Fixes carbon dioxide to methane as its primary energy-producing biochemical pathway.

Subject: NC_014804:78248 Thermococcus barophilus MP chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Thermococcus barophilus; Thermococcus; Thermococcaceae; Thermococcales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: This organism was collected from the chimney wall of a Mid-Atlantic hydrothermal vent known as "Snakebite", at a depth of 3550 m. It was isolated under in situ pressure. True barophilic and hyperthermophilic archaeon strain.
