Gene database of Pyrococcus abyssi GE5

Pyrococcus
abyssi is a hyperthermophilic archaeon isolated from deep-sea hydrothermal
vents. Anaerobic, motile, Gram-negative, and cocci in shape, the archaeon has an
optimal growth temperature of 96 oC. This work sought to provide
fundamental information about the genetic repertoire of P. abyssi GE5 by
parsing its annotated genome sequence downloaded from Genbank. Comprising gene
name, gene function, and gene sequence, the resource should be useful for
fundamental microbiology studies seeking to understand the genetic toolsets that
afford P. abyssi the ability to survive at high temperatures.
