Query: 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.

Subject: NC_008212:61567 Haloquadratum walsbyi DSM 16790, complete genome

Lineage: Haloquadratum walsbyi; Haloquadratum; Halobacteriaceae; Halobacteriales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: A uniquely square archaeon. This hyperhalophile is of specific interest because of its unique square shape and extraordinarily large size (40m x 40m). Its culture conditions were optimized in 2004.
