Species code:	THEAC
Taxonomy:	Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Thermoplasmata; Thermoplasmatales; Thermoplasmataceae; Thermoplasma (TaxID: 2303) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Thermoacidophilic archaeon that thrives at 59 degrees Celsius and pH 2 which was isolated from self-heating coal refuse piles and solfatara fields. Does not possess a cell wall but is delimited only by a plasma membrane. Inhabits a hot and highly acidic environment sometimes as low as pH 0.5. Adapted to scavenging nutrients from the decomposition of organisms killed by the acidity.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: No Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins: 1
Statistics:	Number of THEAC entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 1482 (321 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 1161 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
