Methanocaldococcus sp FS406-22
Methanocaldococcus sp FS406-22 is an archaea in the genus Methanocaldococcus. The 16S rRNA gene of Methanocaldococcus sp FS406-22, is almost 100% similar to that of Methanocaldococcus jannaschii DSM 266  It was isolated from minimum temperature of this archaean is 92 degrees Celsius. Methanocaldococcus sp FS406-22 is able to withstand extreme temperatures of hydrothermal vent fluid due to its ability to fix nitrogen and reduce it from N2 to NH3, a process otherwise known as nitrogen fixation .
