Query: NC_009033:1283645 Staphylothermus marinus F1, complete genome
Lineage: Staphylothermus marinus; Staphylothermus; Desulfurococcaceae; Desulfurococcales; Crenarchaeota; Archaea
General Information: Hyperthermophilic archaeon. This organism was isolated from hydrothermal marine sediment from Vulcano Island in Italy. Staphylothermus marinus is heterotrophic and requires sulfur, which is reduced to H2S, for growth.
Subject: NC_008698:235688 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.
