Query: NC_012526:4462 Deinococcus deserti VCD115, complete genome
Lineage: Deinococcus deserti; Deinococcus; Deinococcaceae; Deinococcales; Deinococcus-Thermus; Bacteria
General Information: Deinococcus deserti VCD115 was isolated from gamma-irradiated Sahara desert sand. Deinococcus deserti is resistant to gamma radiation, UV radiation, and desiccation due to a very efficient DNA repair mechanism.
Subject: NC_009033:1108236 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.
