Pyrococcus "Pyrococcus" species inhabit environments with extremely high temperatures such as undersea hot vents. Optimal growth conditions include a pH level of about 7, a salt concentration around 2.5%, and a temperature around 98 °C. Growing in temperatures this high, it is easy to see why they are anaerobic since at these boiling temperatures hardly any oxygen will be available. In the example of undersea hot vents, where "P. abyssi" has been found, there is no sunlight and the pressure is around 200 atm in addition to the extremely high temperature.
Pyrococcus Three of the "Pyrococcus" species have been sequenced. "P. furiosus" is the largest containing 1.9Mb followed by "P. abyssi" with 1.8Mb and "P. horikoshii" with 1.7Mb. The genomes encode for many different metabolic enzymes which gives themselves a wider spectrum of living conditions because they can transport and metabolize a wide range of organic substances. Variation was detected between species as well.
Pyrococcus "Pyrococcus" has similar characteristics of other thermoautotrophican archaea such as "Archaeoglobus", and "Methanococcus" in the respect that they are all thermophilic and anaerobic. "Pyrococcus" differs, however, because its optimal growth temperature is nearly 100 °C and dwells at a greater sea depth than the other archaea. Studying "Pyrococcus" helps give insight to possible mechanisms used to endure extreme environmental conditions like high temperatures and high pressure.
Pyrococcus The cells of "Pyrococcus" are about 0.8–2 μm and are slightly irregular cocci in shape. They show a polar grouping of flagella and are enveloped by an S-layer enclosing a periplasmic space around the cytoplasmic membrane. "Pyrococcus" species are anaerobic but vary slightly concerning their metabolism. Peptide fermentation is the principle metabolic pathway however, growth has been observed for "P. furiosus" and "P. abyssi" on starch, maltose, and pyruvate but not for "P. horikoshii". While the presence of elemental sulfur is not needed for growth, growth is enhanced with the addition of S.
Pyrococcus Pyrococcus is a genus of Thermococcaceaen archaean.
