Thermococcus hydrothermalis
Thermococcus hydrothermalis is a hyperthermophilic archaeon. It is strictly anaerobic and coccus-shaped, and its cells range from 0.8 to 2.0 μm in diameter, with type strain AL662T.[1] It was isolated from a hydrothermal vent in the East Pacific Rise.[2] This species is notable for its α-glucosidase, which functions optimally at a temperature of 110 °C.[2]
