“…These were classified as Methermicoccus shengliensis and the hyperthermophilic sulfide producing Archaeoglobus fulgidus [ 59 , 79 ], belonging to the Halobacterota phylum, and as the CO 2 /H 2 -reducing methanogen Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus and the sulfide-producing Thermococcus sibiricus , members of the Euryarchaeota phylum. The last two are frequently found in oil thermophilic oil reservoirs [ 54 , 56 , 57 , 76 , 79 ]. Seven genomes belonging to Firmicutes phylum were recovered: Thermoanaerobacter pseudethanolicus (2), Caldanaerobacter subterraneus (1), Thermoacetogeniales (1), Ammonifexales (1), and Moorellia (2), which are known to be syntrophic and fermentative bacteria [ 75 , 84 , 85 , 86 ].…”
