Methanocaldococcus sp. FS406-22 genome sequencing
<P><B><I>Methanocaldococcus</I> sp. FS406-22</B>. <I>Methanocaldococcus</I> sp. FS406-22 was isolated from hydrothermal vent fluid from an undersea volcano in the northeast Pacific Ocean. This organism is able to fix nitrogen at temperatures of 92<sup>o</sup>C and the genome sequence will provide information on the production and regulation of proteins involved in high temperature nitrogen fixation.
