Lineage: Deinococcus deserti; Deinococcus; Deinococcaceae; Deinococcales; Deinococcus-Thermus; Bacteria
General Information: Deinococcus deserti VCD115 was isolated from gamma-irradiated Sahara desert sand. Deinococcus deserti is resistant to gamma radiation, UV radiation, and desiccation due to a very efficient DNA repair mechanism.
Subject: NC_012883:104987 Thermococcus sibiricus MM 739, complete genome
Lineage: Thermococcus sibiricus; Thermococcus; Thermococcaceae; Thermococcales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea
General Information: Thermococcus sibiricus is a hyperthermophilic anaerobic archaeon isolated from a well of the never flooded oil-bearing Jurassic horizon of the high-temperature Samotlor oil reservoir (Western Siberia). The organism is indigenous to the reservoir and survived over geologic time by metabolizing buried organic matter from the original oceanic sediment.
