About the Aeropyrum pernix April 1999 (aerPer1) assembly (sequences)

Species Information

The Aeropyrum pernix K1 genome is 1.67 Million bp long and contains approximately 1752 predicted genes. A. pernix is an aerobic hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon that grows optimally at 95C.

Taxonomy: Archaea; Crenarchaeota; Thermoprotei; Desulfurococcales; Desulfurococcaceae; Aeropyrum.

Sequencing: The sequence was released April 1999 by the NITE, and was described in DNA Res 6:83-101, 145-52 (1999) Kawarabayasi Y, Hino Y, Horikawa H, Yamazaki S, Haikawa Y, et al.."Complete genome sequence of an aerobic hyper-thermophilic crenarchaeon, Aeropyrum pernix K1."

Abstract: The complete sequence of the genome of an aerobic hyper-thermophilic crenarchaeon, Aeropyrum pernix K1, which optimally grows at 95 degrees C, has been determined by the whole genome shotgun method with some modifications. The entire length of the genome was 1,669,695 bp. The authenticity of the entire sequence was supported by restriction analysis of long PCR products, which were directly amplified from the genomic DNA. As the potential protein-coding regions, a total of 2,694 open... [Click above reference link for full abstract]

Abstract: A novel aerobic hyperthermophilic archaeon was isolated from a coastal solfataric vent at Kodakara-Jima Island, Japan. The new isolate, strain K1, is the first strictly aerobic organism growing at temperatures up to 100 degrees C. It grows optimally at 90 to 95 degrees C, pH 7.0, and a salinity of 3.5%. The cells are spherical shaped and 0.8 to 1.2 microns in diameter. Various proteinaceous complex compounds served as substrates during aerobic growth. Thiosulfate stimulates growth...
