title: Complete genome sequence of Thermococcus eurythermalis A501, a conditional piezophilic hyperthermophilic archaeon with a wide temperature range, isolated from an oil-immersed deep-sea hydrothermal chimney on Guaymas Basin.
abstract: Thermococcus eurythermalis A501 is a conditional piezophilic hyperthermophilic archaeon, isolated from an oil-immersed hydrothermal chimney located on Guaymas Basin. This isolate is an anaerobic chemoorgano-heterotroph and can grow over wide temperature, pressure and pH ranges. The genome consists of one circular chromosome (2,122,535 bp) and one plasmid (3629 bp) as the extra-chromosome DNA. The genomic information will contribute to studying extreme adaptation in hydrothermal vent and also the development of industrial enzymes with high stability under extreme condition.
