Query: NC_010525:612000 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.
Subject: NC_003364:402268 Pyrobaculum aerophilum str. IM2, complete genome
Lineage: Pyrobaculum aerophilum; Pyrobaculum; Thermoproteaceae; Thermoproteales; Crenarchaeota; Archaea
General Information: This organism was isolated from a boiling marine water hole in Maronti Beach, Ischia, Italy. It grows optimally a 100ºC and pH 7.0. Growth can occur at temperatures between 74 and 104 ºC. Nitrate-reducing hyperthermophilic archeon. This organism is a facultatively anaerobic, nitrate-reducing hyperthermophilic archaeon. It is able to grow both aerobically and anaerobically by dissimilatory nitrate reduction.
