Abstract
The hyperthermophilic archaea Pyrococcus furiosus and Thermococcus lit oralis contain the tungstoenzymes aldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase, a homodimer, and formaldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase, a homotetrame r. Herein we report the cloning and sequencing of the P. furiosus gene aor (605 residues; M(r), 66,630) and the T. litoralis gene for (621 r esidues; M(r), 68,941).
