Species Information
The Aquifex aeolicus VF5 genome is 1.59 Million bp long and contains approximately 1611
predicted genes.
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Aquificae; Aquificales; Aquificaceae; Aquifex.
Sequencing: The sequence was released 04/16/1998 by the DIVERSA, and was described in Nature 392:353-8 (1998) Deckert G, Warren PV, Gaasterland T, Young WG, Lenox AL, et al.."The complete genome of the hyperthermophilic bacterium Aquifex aeolicus." Abstract: Aquifex aeolicus was one of the earliest diverging, and is one of the most thermophilic, bacteria known. It can grow on hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and mineral salts. The complex metabolic machinery needed for A. aeolicus to function as a chemolithoautotroph (an organism which uses an inorganic carbon source for biosynthesis and an inorganic chemical energy source) is encoded within a genome that is only one-third the size of the E. coli genome. Metabolic flexibility seems to be... [Click above reference link for full abstract]

The Archaeal Genome Browsers at UCSC were developed by members of the
Lowe Lab (Kevin Schneider,
Katherine Pollard, Andy Pohl, Todd Lowe) and Robert Baertsch, with significant support from
the UCSC Human Genome
Browser group.
The Archaeal Browsers are run by a slightly modified
version of the UCSC Human Genome
Browser system. All queries, bug reports, content corrections, suggested improvements,
and new track data submissions should be sent to Todd Lowe (lowe
