Pyrococcus furiosus is a species of Archaea. It is a single celled organism that has no nucleus or any membrane bound organelles. It has a round head typically between 0.8 and 2.5 microns in diameter, and many attached archaella, which are very similar to flagella. It lives in marine sediments, and it is unique in that it multiplies every 37 minutes, meaning that every 37 minutes, the number of individual organisms is multiplied by 2. It grows between 70 °C (158 °F) and 103 °C (217 °F), with an optimum temperature of 100 °C (212 °F), and between pH 5 and 9. It grows well on yeast extract, maltose, cellobiose, starch, and protein sources. It is widely used in research because of its ability to withstand high variations in temperature [13].

Sulfolobus solfataricus was one of the first Thermophilic archaea to be discovered. It was found in the volcanic springs in Yellowstone National Park. It grows at 176 degrees Fahrenheit in volcanic hot springs and at a ph of around 3. It is a thermoacidophile, meaning that it loves heat and acid. [14]. It has a round, sphere like shape and has a flagellum that is clockwise. The cell wall has special proteins that transport carbs into the cell. Ion channels that keep potassium levels normal. [15]It receives energy from growing on sulfur or other organisms and it is an autotroph.
