HAMAP: Thermotoga sp. (strain RQ2) complete proteome
General information

Species:  Thermotoga sp. (strain RQ2)
Species code: THESQ
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Thermotogae; Thermotogales; Thermotogaceae; Thermotoga (TaxID: 126740) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: Thermotoga sp. (strain RQ2) is an anaerobic hyperthermophilic bacterium isolated from the geothermally heated seafloor in the Azores. Its optimal growth temperature is between 76 and 82 degrees Celsius. Comparisons of sequences from Thermotoga strain RQ2 and T. maritima show the two genomes have a high degree of conservation of gene order, but their differences provide important information about horizontal transfer of genes involved in polysaccharide catabolism.
Properties: Presence of flagella: Yes
Human pathogen: No
Interaction: No
Number of membranes: 2
Number of inteins:0
Statistics: Number of THESQ entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 1818 (259 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 1559 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
