Pyrobaculum islandicum DSM 4184

Taxonomy
Names	Pyrobaculum islandicum DSM 4184
Accession numbers	NC_008701
Background	Pyrobaculum islandicum (strain DSM 4184 / JCM9189) is a hyperthermophilic archaeon isolated from water from a geothermal power plant in Iceland. This organism is able to grow at 95 degrees Celsius autotrophically, heterotrophically (lithotrophically and organotrophically), and mixotrophically using hydrogen or organic matter (acetate) as the electron donors and sulfur, sulfite, and thiosulfate as electron acceptors.
