| |
| Thermococcus atlanticus was isolated from deep-sea hydrothermal vents on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This Archaeon is extremely thermophilic with a preferred temperature of 85 degrees C. This strain also has an optimal NACL concentration of 3% and pH of 7 for growth. This microorganism requires rich proteinaceous substrates and prefers environments with Polysulfur, L-cysteine, cystine, or elemental sulfur.
