Query: NC_015474:644552 Pyrococcus sp. NA2 chromosome, complete genome Lineage: Pyrococcus; Pyrococcus; Thermococcaceae; Thermococcales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea General Information: Pyrococcus has similar characteristics of other thermoautotrophican archaea such as Archaeoglobus, and Methanococcus in the respect that they are all thermophilic and anaerobic. Pyrococcus differs, however, because its optimal growth temperature is nearly 100 °C and dwells at a greater sea depth than the other archaea. Studying Pyrococcus helps give insight to possible mechanisms used to endure extreme environmental conditions like high temperatures and high pressure.

General Information: Isolation: Human plasma; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 37C; Habitat: Host, Mouth microflora, Skin microflora. Anaerococcus prevotii, formerly Peptostreptococcus prevotii, is a member of the normal human gastrointestinal tract. However, it can be isolated from abscesses and other infections and may be considered an opportunistic pathogen.
