Description: Vulcanisaeta distributa (strain DSM 14429 / JCM 11212 / NBRC 100878 / IC-017) is an anaerobic, hyperthermophilic archeon isolated from a hot spring in Ohwakudani, Kanagawa, Japan. The genus name derives from the Latin words "vulcanicus" meaning volcanic, and "saeta" meaning stiff hair, to indicate a rigid rod inhabiting volcanic hot springs. The cells are rigid, straight to slightly curved rods. Occasionally, they bend, branch out, or bear spherical bodies at the terminae, which have been termed as 'golf clubs'. Most cells are 0.4-0.6 um in width and 3-7 um long. Pili have been observed to rise terminally or laterally. V. distributa grows well even in the absence of a vitamin mixture or archaeal cell-extract solution in the medium. It is resistant to chloramphenicol, kanamycin, oleandomycin, streptomycin and vancomycin, but sensitive to erythromycin, novobiocin and rifampicin (all at 100 ug per ml). V. distributa needs acidic conditions and grows between pH between 3.5-5.6, and with a temperature between 70-92 degrees Celsius with an optimum at 90 degrees Celsius. Sulfur or thiosulfate is required as an electron acceptor. (Adapted from : http://standardsingenomics.org/index.php/sigen/article/view/sigs.1113067/372).
