Pyrococcus abyssi is a hyperthermophilic archaeon isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent in the North Fiji basin at 2,000 metres (6,600 ft). It is anaerobic, sulfurmetabolizing, gram-negative, coccus-shaped and highly motile. Its optimum growth temperature is 96°C. Its type strain is GE5 (CNCM I-1302).[1]
