Query: NC_016751:142237 Marinitoga piezophila KA3 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Marinitoga piezophila; Marinitoga; Thermotogaceae; Thermotogales; Thermotogae; Bacteria

General Information: Country: Pacific Ocean; Environment: Deep sea, Hydrothermal vent, Marine; Isolation: deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney; Temp: Thermophile; Temp: 65C. Marinitoga piezophila was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney at a depth of 2630 meters on the East-Pacific Rise. This organism grows best at a pressure of 40 MPa. This organism is a member of the Thermatogales and has the characteristic morphology of one or more cells contained in a sheath-like envelope which extends beyond the cell wall.

Subject: NC_009828:1530732 Thermotoga lettingae TMO, complete genome

Lineage: Thermotoga lettingae; Thermotoga; Thermotogaceae; Thermotogales; Thermotogae; Bacteria

General Information: Thermotoga lettingae strain TMO was isolated from a methanol-degrading, sulfate-reducing bioreactor. Thermophilic, methanol-degrading organism. This organism, a member of the Thermotogales, has the characteristic sheath-like envelope which extends beyond the cell wall. The oxidation of methanol was more efficient when Thermotoga lettingae was grown as a co-culture with Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus or Thermodesulfovibrio yellowstonii.
