Query: NC_014374:1013184 Acidilobus saccharovorans 345-15 chromosome, complete genome Lineage: Acidilobus saccharovorans; Acidilobus; Acidilobaceae; Acidilobales; Crenarchaeota; Archaea General Information: Acidilobus saccharovorans is an anaerobic thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon isolated from a hot spring of Uzon Caldera, Kamchatka, Russia. Acidophilic hyperthermophile. Members of this genus have been isolated from acidic hot spring environments and may make up a significant part of the microbial community in these environments.

General Information: This organism was originally identified as Pyrococcus sp. strain KOD1. It was isolated from a solfatara on Kodakara Island, Japan. Hyperthermophilic archeon. This genus is a member of the order Thermococcales in the Euryarchaeota. Thermococcus sp. are the most commonly isolated hyperthermophilic organisms and are often isolated from marine hydrothermal vents and terrestrial hot sulfur springs. Elemental sulfur is either required for, or stimulates, growth. These obligate heterotrophs can ferment a variety of organic compounds, including peptides, amino acids, and sugars in the absence of sulfur. Thermococcus kodakaraensis is a hyperthermophilic archeon. Proteins from this organism have been extensively studied to find thermostable enzymes for industrial and biotechnological applications.
