Gene database of Archaeoglobus fulgidus DSM 8774

Archaeoglobus fulgidus is a thermophilic archaeon found in hyperthermal environments such as hot springs and oil fields. With a small genome encoding fewer number of genes compared to the typical bacterial species, A. fulgidus offers many fascinating vistas for inquiry such as in functional genomics, metabolism, and cellular physiology. This work sought to provide the genetic repertoire of A. fulgidus DSM8774 by parsing the annotated genome sequence of the archaeon downloaded from Genbank. Comprising gene name, gene function, and gene sequence, the resource should find use in a variety of molecular phylogeny research seeking to understand the evolutionary origins of this species and the evolutionary context of its metabolic machinery.
