Classification

Archaea; Crenarchaeota; Thermoprotei; Thermoproteales; Thermoproteaceae [Others may be used. Use NCBI link to find]

Species

neutrophilus

NCBI: Taxonomy

Genus species Thermoproteus neutrophilus

Description and Significance

Describe the appearance, habitat, etc. of the organism, and why you think it is important.

Genome Structure

Describe the size and content of the genome. How many chromosomes? Circular or linear? Other interesting features? What is known about its sequence?

Thermoproteus neutrophilus has 1.77 million base pairs. There are 2053 predicted genes. It was originally classified in 1983 as belonging the the Thermoproteus genus. However, based on rRNA and protein based phylogenetic trees, it has become clear that it is more closely related to the Pyrobaculum genus [3].

Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle

Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.


Ecology and Pathogenesis

Habitat; symbiosis; biogeochemical significance; contributions to environment.
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
