Species code:	METAC
Taxonomy:	Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Methanomicrobia; Methanosarcinales; Methanosarcinaceae; Methanosarcina (TaxID: 188937) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Methanosarcina acetivorans is an acetate-utilizing methanogen, that thrives in a broad range of environments, and are unique among the Archaea in forming complex multicellular structures. It has the largest known archaeal genome. Although motility has not been observed in any Methanosarcinae, a flagellin gene cluster and two complete chemotaxis gene clusters were identified.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Human pathogen: No Interaction: No Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of METAC entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 4468 (485 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 3983 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)

Genome structure:	Chromosome EMBL accession number AE010299 (circular; 5,751,492 bp) (download entry)
