Species code:	PICTO
Taxonomy:	Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Thermoplasmata; Thermoplasmatales; Picrophilaceae; Picrophilus (TaxID: 82076) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Picrophilus torridus is an euryarchaeon which was first isolated from a dry solfataric field in northern Japan. It is able to grow around pH 0 (and even at negative pH values) and up to 65 Celsius degrees. It has a low intracellular pH of 4.6 whereas other thermoacidophilic organisms maintain internal pH values close to neutral.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: No Interaction: No Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins: 1
Statistics:	Number of PICTO entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 1535 (200 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 1335 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)

Genome structure:	Chromosome EMBL accession number AE017261 (circular; 1,545,895 bp) (download entry) (download Genome Reviews).
