Thermococcus celer is a Gram-negative, spherical-shaped archaeon of the genus Thermococcus.[1] The discovery of T. celer played an important role in rerooting the tree of life when T. celer was found to be more closely related to methanogenic Archaea than to other phenotypically similar thermophilic species.[1]T. celer was the first archaeon discovered to house a circularized genome.[2] Several type strains of T. celer have been identified: Vu13, ATCC 35543, and DSM 2476.[2]
