Species code:	METJA
Taxonomy:	Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Methanococci; Methanococcales; Methanocaldococcaceae; Methanocaldococcus (TaxID: 2190) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Thermophilic, methanogenic, autotrophic and strict anaerobic organism. It was originally isolated from a sediment sample collected from the sea floor surface at the base of a 2600 m-deep "white smoker" chimney located on the East Pacific Rise. It grows at pressures of up to more than 200 atm and over a temperature range of 48 to 94 degrees Celsius, with an optimum near 85 degrees Celsius.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: No Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins: 15 in 15 different sequences
Statistics:	Number of METJA entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 1782 (1782 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 0 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
