Species code:	METMP
Taxonomy:	Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Methanococci; Methanococcales; Methanococcaceae; Methanococcus (TaxID: 39152) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Mesophilic hydrogenotrophic, nitrogen-fixing methanogen that was isolated from a salt-marsh sediment. It is an excellent laboratory model because of rapid, reliable growth, a robust set of genetic tools and the availability of expression arrays and proteomics data.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: No Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of METMP entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 1722 (322 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 1400 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)

Genome structure:	Chromosome EMBL accession number BX950229 (circular; 1,661,137 bp) (download entry) (download Genome Reviews).
