Query: NC_009440:2093500 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_009033:653462 Staphylothermus marinus F1, complete genome

Lineage: Staphylothermus marinus; Staphylothermus; Desulfurococcaceae; Desulfurococcales; Crenarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: Hyperthermophilic archaeon. This organism was isolated from hydrothermal marine sediment from Vulcano Island in Italy. Staphylothermus marinus is heterotrophic and requires sulfur, which is reduced to H2S, for growth.
