Query: NC_008701:195850 Pyrobaculum islandicum DSM 4184, complete genome
Lineage: Pyrobaculum islandicum; Pyrobaculum; Thermoproteaceae; Thermoproteales; Crenarchaeota; Archaea
General Information: Hyperthermophilic anaerobe. Pyrobaculum islandicum was isolated from water from a geothermal power plant in Iceland. This organism is able to grow lithotrophically and organotrophically using hydrogen or organic matter as the electron donors and sulfur, sulfite, and thiosulfate as electron acceptors.
Subject: NC_010525:285805 Thermoproteus neutrophilus V24Sta, complete genome
Lineage: Pyrobaculum neutrophilum; Pyrobaculum; Thermoproteaceae; Thermoproteales; Crenarchaeota; Archaea
General Information: Hyperthermophilic crenarchaeota. Thermoproteus neutrophilus V24Sta was first isolated from a hot spring in Iceland. This organism is capable of autotrophic growth with sulfur as the electron donor and hydrogen as the electron acceptor, and is also able to grow heterotrophically on organic substrates.
