Species InformationThe Archaeoglobus fulgidus DSM 4304 genome is 2.18 Million bp long and contains approximately 2486 predicted genes. A. fulgidus is a sulfur-metabolizing anaerobe that grows optimally around 83C. High-temperature sulfate reduction by Archaeoglobus species contributes to deep subsurface oil-well 'souring' by iron sulfide, which causes corrosion of iron and steel in oil-and gas-processing systems.
Taxonomy: Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Archaeoglobi; Archaeoglobales; Archaeoglobaceae; Archaeoglobus.
Sequencing: The sequence was released Dec 1997 by the TIGR, and was described in Nature 390:364-70 (1997) Klenk HP, Clayton RA, Tomb JF, White O, Nelson KE, et al.."The complete genome sequence of the hyperthermophilic, sulphate-reducing archaeon Archaeoglobus fulgidus." Abstract: Archaeoglobus fulgidus is the first sulphur-metabolizing organism to have its genome sequence determined. Its genome of 2,178,400 base pairs contains 2,436 open reading frames (ORFs). The information processing systems and the biosynthetic pathways for essential components (nucleotides, amino acids and cofactors) have extensive correlation with their counterparts in the archaeon Methanococcus jannaschii. The genomes of these two Archaea indicate dramatic differences in the way these...

Abstract: Extremely thermophilic archaebacteria are known to be metabolizers of elemental sulfur and the methanogens. A novel group of extremely thermophilic archaebacteria is described, which consists of sulfate-respiring organisms that contain pure factor 420 and that have been isolated from marine hydrothermal systems in Italy. They possess a third type of archaebacterial RNA polymerase structure previously unknown, indicating an exceptional phylogenetic position. Most likely, this group...

Sample position queriesA genome position can be specified by chromosomal coordinate range, COGID, or keywords from the GenBank or TIGR description of a gene. The available chromosome/plasmid names are:
| Browser Chrom/Plasmid Name | Length (bp) | GC Content (%) | Gene Count | NCBI RefSeq Accession |
|---|
| chr | 2178400 | 48.58 | 2486 | NC_000917 |
The following list shows examples of valid position queries for thisgenome: | Request: | Genome Browser Response: |
|---|
| chr | Displays the entire sequence "chr" in the browser window | | chr:1-10000 | Displays first ten thousand bases of the sequence "chr" | | transporter | Lists all genes with "transporter" in the name or description | | AF0010 | Display genome at position of gene AF0010 |
CreditsThe Archaeal Genome Browsers at UCSC were developed by members of theLowe Lab (Kevin Schneider,Katherine Pollard, Andy Pohl, Todd Lowe) and Robert Baertsch, with significant support fromthe UCSC Human GenomeBrowser group.The Archaeal Browsers are run by a slightly modifiedversion of the UCSC Human GenomeBrowser system. All queries, bug reports, content corrections, suggested improvements,and new track data submissions should be sent to Todd Lowe (lowe@soe.ucsc.edu).If you use the browser in your published research, please cite ourpublication in the Nucleic Acids Research DatabaseIssue.
