Species Information

The Methanosaeta thermophila PT genome is 1.88 Million bp long and contains approximately 1781 predicted genes.

Taxonomy: Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Methanomicrobia; Methanosarcinales; Methanosaetaceae; Methanosaeta.

The most recent genome sequence draft was released 10/28/06 by the DOE/JGI, but there is no associated genome publication to date.

Isolation: Int J Syst Bacteriol 42:463-8 (1992) Kamagata Y, Kawasaki H, Oyaizu H, Nakamura K, Mikami E, et al. "Characterization of three thermophilic strains of Methanothrix ("Methanosaeta") thermophila sp. nov. and rejection of Methanothrix ("Methanosaeta") thermoacetophila."

Abstract: Three thermophilic Methanothrix ("Methanosaeta") strains, strains PTT (= DSM 6194T) (T = type strain), CALS-1 (= DSM 3870), and Z-517 (= DSM 4774), were characterized chemotaxonomically and compared with five mesophilic strains, Methanothrix soehngenii ("Methanosaeta concilii") GP6 (= DSM 3671), Opfikon (= DSM 2139), FE (= DSM 3013), UA, and PM. These methanogens were exclusively acetotrophic and had a characteristic sheathed structure. The DNA base compositions of the strains which we... [Click above reference link for full abstract]

The 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).
