Query: NC_009828:469778 Thermotoga lettingae TMO, complete genome Lineage: Thermotoga lettingae; Thermotoga; Thermotogaceae; Thermotogales; Thermotogae; Bacteria General Information: Thermotoga lettingae strain TMO was isolated from a methanol-degrading, sulfate-reducing bioreactor. Thermophilic, methanol-degrading organism. This organism, a member of the Thermotogales, has the characteristic sheath-like envelope which extends beyond the cell wall. The oxidation of methanol was more efficient when Thermotoga lettingae was grown as a co-culture with Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus or Thermodesulfovibrio yellowstonii.

General Information: Isolation: Mariner hydrothermal vent field in the South Pacific Ocean; Temp: Thermophile; Temp: 70C; Habitat: Deep sea, Hydrothermal vent, Marine. Acidophilic thermophile. Aciduliprofundum boonei is an obligate thermoacidophile growing at pH between 3.3 - 5.8 with an optimum temperature of 70 degrees C. This organism is a chemoorganotroph, using iron and sulfur as electron donors.
