Query: NC_007955:545000 Methanococcoides burtonii DSM 6242, complete genome

Lineage: Methanococcoides burtonii; Methanococcoides; Methanosarcinaceae; Methanosarcinales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: Psychrotolerant methanogenic archeon. This organism is a strictly anaerobic, slightly halophilic archeon that was isolated from the anoxic hypolimnion (layer of cold noncirculating water below the thermocline) of Ace Lake, Antarctica. Growth occurs at a temperature between 1.7-29.5 degrees C with optimal growth at 23.4 degrees C. In addition this organism requires 0.1-0.5 M NaCl and either magnesium sulfate or magnesium chloride at a concentration greater than 0.01 M for growth.

Subject: NC_011832:1283521 Candidatus Methanosphaerula palustris E1-9c, complete genome

Lineage: Methanosphaerula palustris; Methanosphaerula; Methanoregulaceae; Methanomicrobiales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: Candidatus Methanosphaerula palustris was isolated from an organically rich wetland in central New York State, USA. This methanogen is highly sensitive to the concentration of sulfur in the soil. Wetlands methanogenic bacterium.
