Description: | Thermophilic, methanogenic, autotrophic and strict anaerobic organism.
It was originally isolated from a sediment sample collected from the
sea floor surface at the base of a 2600 m-deep "white smoker" chimney
located on the East Pacific Rise. It grows at pressures of up to more
than 200 atm and over a temperature range of 48 to 94 degrees Celsius,
with an optimum near 85 degrees Celsius.
