Query: NC_013939:1767262 Deferribacter desulfuricans SSM1, complete genome

Lineage: Deferribacter desulfuricans; Deferribacter; Deferribacteraceae; Deferribacterales; Deferribacteres; Bacteria

General Information: Thermophilic sulphur-reducing bacterium. Isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney at the Suiyo Seamount in the Izu-Bonin Arc, Japan. Deferribacter desulfuricans is an anaerobic, heterotrophic thermophile. It is a strictly anaerobic heterotroph capable of using complex organic compounds, ethanol and various organic acids as energy and carbon sources. Elemental sulfur, nitrate or arsenate was required for growth as an electron acceptor.

Subject: NC_000918:1 Aquifex aeolicus VF5, complete genome

Lineage: Aquifex aeolicus; Aquifex; Aquificaceae; Aquificales; Aquificae; Bacteria

General Information: This hyperthermophilic organism grows optimally at 95 C on hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and mineral salts. Many of the enzymes this organism produces are studied due to their heat stable nauture.
