General information

Species:  Methanococcus aeolicus (strain Nankai-3 / ATCC BAA-1280)
Species code: META3
Taxonomy: Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Methanococci; Methanococcales; Methanococcaceae; Methanococcus (TaxID: 419665) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: Methanococcus aeolicus (strain Nankai-3 / ATCC BAA-1280) is an anaerobic archaeon of the phylum Euryarchaeota. It was isolated from deep marine sediment from the Nankai Trough off the coast of Japan. This organism is a methanogen, able to use hydrogen or formate to reduce CO2. Strain Nankai-3 is the type strain and will be used for comparative analysis.
