Species code:	PYRFU
Taxonomy:	Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Thermococci; Thermococcales; Thermococcaceae; Pyrococcus (TaxID: 2261) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	P.furiosus is found in the marine sand surrounding sulfurous volcanoes. Cells of this organism are motile cocci that have about 50 flagella at one end and are often found in pairs. They are anaerobic and are capable of growing at temperatures ranging from 70-103 Celsius and at a pH ranging from 5-9. The generation time is among the shortest found among the Archaea only 37 minutes under optimal conditions. P.furiosus is remarkable because it is able to maintain chromosomal integrity at temperatures up to 103 degrees Celsius with very little accumulation of DNA breaks. It also is highly resistant to radiation and can withstand doses up to 1.5 kGy.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: No Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins: 9 in 9 different sequences
Statistics:	Number of PYRFU entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 2045 (435 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 1610 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)

Genome structure:	Chromosome EMBL accession number AE009950 (circular; 1,908,256 bp) (download entry) (download Genome Reviews).
