Species InformationThe Pyrococcus furiosus DSM 3638 genome is 1.91 Million bp long and contains approximately 2228 predicted genes. P. furiosus was isolated from a shallow marine solfatara at Vulcano Island off southern Italy. The ceils are fermentative, sulfur-reducing, flagellated cocci with a maximal growth temperature of 103C and optimal growth at 100C. Generation times of 35 min and cell densities of more than 10^10 cells/ml have been reported. Because it is able to grow to high cell densities, and in the absence of elemental sulfur, it has become a favored source of highly thermostable enzymes (partially excerpted from Robb et al. reference below).
Taxonomy: Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Thermococci; Thermococcales; Thermococcaceae; Pyrococcus.

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.
