Query: NC_016885:5875 Pyrobaculum oguniense TE7 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Pyrobaculum oguniense; Pyrobaculum; Thermoproteaceae; Thermoproteales; Crenarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: Pyrobaculum oguniense is a hyperthermophilic, heterotrophic, rod-shaped archaeon isolated from a terrestrial hot spring at Oguni-cho, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. It grows under aerobic, microaerobic and anaerobic conditions: the optimal temperature and pH for growth are between 90-94 degrees C and pH 7.0-7.5. This organism can use sulfur and thiosulfate for growth under anaerobic conditions. Location: Japan, Tsuetate Hot Spring, Kumamoto prefecture.

Subject: NC_000961:801902 Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3, complete genome

Lineage: Pyrococcus horikoshii; Pyrococcus; Thermococcaceae; Thermococcales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: This organism was isolated from a hydrothermal vent at Okinawa Trough in the Pacific Ocean at a depth of 1395 m. This organism is an obligate anaerobic, hyperthermophilic archaeon. Growth occurs at 80-102 degrees C with optimal growth at 98 degrees C and a pH of 7.0. Presence of elemental sulfur has been found to greatly stimulate growth.
