Species InformationThe Thermoplasma volcanium GSS1 genome is 1.58 Million bp long and contains approximately 1548 predicted genes. T. volcanium is a thermophilic, acidophilic mycoplasma that grows optimally at 60C and pH 2.0. This species is a facultative aerobe. The thermoplasamas are euryarchaea, distantly related to sulfolobes which are crenarchaea, yet both inhabit similar thermal acidic environments.
Taxonomy: Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Thermoplasmata; Thermoplasmatales; Thermoplasmataceae; Thermoplasma.

CreditsThe Archaeal Genome Browsers at UCSC were developed by members of theLowe Lab (Kevin Schneider,Katherine Pollard, Andy Pohl, Todd Lowe) and Robert Baertsch, with significant support fromthe UCSC Human GenomeBrowser group.The Archaeal Browsers are run by a slightly modifiedversion of the UCSC Human GenomeBrowser system. All queries, bug reports, content corrections, suggested improvements,and new track data submissions should be sent to Todd Lowe (lowe@soe.ucsc.edu).If you use the browser in your published research, please cite ourpublication in the Nucleic Acids Research DatabaseIssue. Citations and positive feedback will help us obtain fundingto continue development of this community resource.
