Subject: NC_008698:560529 Thermofilum pendens Hrk 5, complete genome
Lineage: Thermofilum pendens; Thermofilum; Thermofilaceae; Thermoproteales; Crenarchaeota; Archaea
General Information: Hyperthermophilic crenarchaeota. Thermofilum pendens is a hetrotrophic hyperthermophile that has been isolated from hot springs, mud holes, and other thermal environments. This organism gets energy from the respiration of sulfur, using complex organic compounds as electron donors.
