Query: NC_009440:2151638 Metallosphaera sedula DSM 5348 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Metallosphaera sedula; Metallosphaera; Sulfolobaceae; Sulfolobales; Crenarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: Acid-loving thermophile which can oxidize coal and pyrite. Metallosphaera sedula was isolated from a thermal pond in the Pisciarelli Solfatara in Italy. This organism is able to leach metals from sulfidic ores making it a potential bioleaching agent. The rate of oxidation of iron pyrite for this organism is increased under conditions of thermal and chemical stress.

Subject: NC_014507:2568933 Methanoplanus petrolearius DSM 11571 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Methanoplanus petrolearius; Methanoplanus; Methanomicrobiaceae; Methanomicrobiales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: Environment: Oil fields; Isolation: Offshore oil field from Gulf of Guinea; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 37C. Methanoplanus petrolearius was first isolated from an offshore oil well. This organism is a methanogen, producing methane from hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
