Query: NC_009776:707785 Ignicoccus hospitalis KIN4/I, complete genome

Lineage: Ignicoccus hospitalis; Ignicoccus; Desulfurococcaceae; Desulfurococcales; Crenarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: Ignicoccus hospitalis Kin4/I was isolated from gravel obtained from the shallow marine hydrothermal system of the Kolbeinsey Ridge, north of Iceland. Hyperthermophilic archaeon. Ignicoccus hospitalis, an anaerobic, hyperthermophilic, chemoautolithotroph, uses hydrogen to reduce elemental sulfur and produce hydrogen sulfide. This organism is also moderately halophilic and acidophilic. Ignicoccus hospitalis is the host organism for Nanoarchaeum equitans.

Subject: NC_009073:1708544 Pyrobaculum calidifontis JCM 11548, complete genome

Lineage: Pyrobaculum calidifontis; Pyrobaculum; Thermoproteaceae; Thermoproteales; Crenarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: This organism is a facultatively anaerobic, hyperthermophilic archaeon, first isolated from a hot spring in the Philippines. Pyrobaculum calidifontis cannot use sulfur compounds for anaerobic growth and is only able to grow anaerobically using nitrate as an electron acceptor.
