Query: NC_000868:196015 Pyrococcus abyssi GE5, complete genome

Lineage: Pyrococcus abyssi; Pyrococcus; Thermococcaceae; Thermococcales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: This organism was isolated from an active chimney in the North Fiji Basin of the Pacific Ocean at a depth of 3500 meters. This organism is an obligate anaerobic, hyperthermophilic archaeon. Growth occurs at a temperature of 67-103 degrees C with optimal growth at 103 degrees C at 200 atmospheres of pressure. Increased hydrostatic pressure has been found to extend the upper growth temperature and stimulate growth.

Subject: NC_007681:930921 Methanosphaera stadtmanae DSM 3091, complete genome

Lineage: Methanosphaera stadtmanae; Methanosphaera; Methanobacteriaceae; Methanobacteriales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: Isolated from human feces. Methanogen that uses methanol and hydrogen to produce methane. This organism produces methane from methanol and hydrogen unlike most methanogens that use carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
