Query: NC_017954:471000 Thermogladius cellulolyticus 1633 chromosome, complete genome Lineage: Thermogladius cellulolyticus; Thermogladius; Desulfurococcaceae; Desulfurococcales; Crenarchaeota; Archaea General Information: Obligate anaerobe. Grows optimally at a temperature of 84 deg C and pH 7.1, isolated from the hot spring in the Uzon Caldera in Kamchatka (Russia). Capable of growing by fermentation not only on proteinaceous substrates but also on cellulose. Elemental sulfur is not obligately required but stimulates growth and is reduced to H2S.

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.
