Species code:	AERPE
Taxonomy:	Archaea; Crenarchaeota; Thermoprotei; Desulfurococcales; Desulfurococcaceae; Aeropyrum (TaxID: 56636) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	A strictly aerobic hyperthermophilic archaeon isolated from a coastal solfataric thermal vent at Kodakara-Jima Island, Japan in 1993. It is a heterotroph that grows optimally at 90 to 95 degrees Celsius, pH 7.0, and a salinity of 3.5%. It is spherical shaped and covered by a cell envelope (S-layer-like structure). It contains C25-isopranyl archaeol (glycerol diether) as the hydrocarbon chain in the core lipid.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: not known Interaction: No Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins: 1
Statistics:	Number of AERPE entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 1702 (359 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 1343 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)

Genome structure:	Chromosome EMBL accession number BA000002 (circular; 1,669,696 bp) (download entry) (download Genome Reviews).
