Archaeoglobus fulgidus VC-16 is the type strain of the Archaeoglobales.
Cells are irregular spheres with a glycoprotein envelope and monopolar flagella.
Growth occurs between 60 and 95 degrees C, with optimum growth at 83 degrees C and a minimum division time of 4 hours. The organism grows organoheterotrophically using a variety of carbon and energy sources, but can grow lithoautotrophically on hydrogen, thiosulphate and carbon dioxide. The total number of ORF of Archaeoglobus fulgidus used in this study is 2384 . This is our high coverage report. The threshold for transmembrane helices is lowered to get higher coverage, so the reliability decreases.
