Cells were strictly anaerobic, motile cocci. The strain grew at NaCl concentrations ranging from 1 to 5 % (w/v; optimum, 2.0%), from pH 6.0 to 7.5 (optimum, pH 6.5–7.0), at temperatures between 60 and 95 °C (optimum, 80–85 °C), and at pressures from 0.1 to at least 50 MPa (optimum, 30 MPa). Strain EXT12cT grew chemoorganoheterotrophically on complex proteinaceous substrates. Its growth was highly stimulated by the presence of elemental sulphur or l-cystine, which were reduced to hydrogen sulfide. The DNA G+C content was 54.58 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and concatenated ribosomal protein sequences showed that strain EXT12cT falls into the genus Thermococcus and is most closely related to Thermococcus nautili strain 30-1T. Overall genome relatedness index analyses (average nucleotide identity scores and in silico DNA–DNA hybridizations) showed a sufficient genomic distance between the new genome and the ones of the Thermococcus type strains for the delineation of a new species. On the basis of genotypic and phenotypic data, strain EXT12cT is considered to represent a novel species, for which the name Thermococcus henrietii sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain EXT12cT (=UBOCC M-2417T=DSM 111004T).
