Thermococcus Barossii
''Thermococcus'' is a genus of thermophile, thermophilic Archaea in the family the Thermococcaceae. Members of the genus ''Thermococcus'' are typically irregularly shaped coccoid species, ranging in size from 0.6 to 2.0 μm in diameter. Some species of ''Thermococcus'' are immobile, and some species have motility, using Flagellum, flagella as their main mode of movement. These flagella typically exist at a specific pole of the organism. This movement has been seen at room or at high temperatures, depending on the specific organism. In some species, these microorganisms can aggregate and form white-gray plaques.Tae-Yang Jung, Y.-S. K., Byoung-Ha Oh, and Euijeon Woo (2012). "Identification of a novel ligand binding site in phosphoserine phosphatase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon ''Thermococcus onnurineus''." Wiley Periodicals: 11. Species under ''Thermococcus'' typically thrive at temperatures between 60 and 105 °C, either in the presence of black smokers (hydrothermal ...

Thermococcus Celer
''Thermococcus celer'' is a Gram-negative, spherical-shaped archaeon of the genus ''Thermococcus''. The discovery of ''T. celer'' played an important role in rerooting the tree of life when ''T. celer'' was found to be more closely related to methanogenic Archaea than to other phenotypically similar thermophilic species. ''T. celer'' was the first archaeon discovered to house a circularized genome. Several Strain (biology), type strains of ''T. celer'' have been identified: Vu13, ATCC 35543, and DSM 2476. Isolation ''T. celer'' was discovered by Dr. Wolfram Zillig in 1983. The organism was isolated on the beaches of Vulcano, Italy, from a sulfur-rich shallow volcanic crater. Original samples were isolated from the depths of the marine holes and inoculated into 10-ml anaerobic tubes.Zillig, W., K. O. Stetter, W. Schafer, D. Janekovic, S. Wunderl, I. Holz, and P. Palm.
