| Background | Staphylothermus marinus (strain ATCC 43588 / DSM 3639 / F1) is a strictly anaerobic, hyperthermophilic archaeon phylogenetically associated with the kingdom Crenarchaeota. This organism was isolated from hydrothermal marine sediment from Vulcano Island in Italy. Staphylothermus marinus is heterotrophic and requires sulfur, which is reduced to H2S, for growth. It is slightly irregular coccus, which exhibits optimal growth at 92 degrees Celsius. (HAMAP: STAMF) |
