Thermococcus hydrothermalis is a hyperthermophilic archaeon. It is strictly anaerobic and coccus-shaped, and its cells range from 0.8 to 2.0 μm in diameter, with type strain AL662T.{{cite journal|last1=Godfroy|first1=A.|last2=Lesongeur|first2=F.|last3=Raguenes|first3=G.|last4=Querellou|first4=J.|last5=Antoine|first5=E.|last6=Meunier|first6=J.-R.|last7=Guezennec|first7=J.|last8=Barbier|first8=G.|title=Thermococcus hydrothermalis sp. nov., a New Hyperthermophilic Archaeon Isolated from a Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vent|journal=International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology|volume=47|issue=3|date=1997|pages=622–626|issn=0020-7713|doi=10.1099/00207713-47-3-622|pmid=9226891|doi-access=free}} It was isolated from a hydrothermal vent in the East Pacific Rise. This species is notable for its α-glucosidase, which functions optimally at a temperature of 110 °C.{{cite book|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9CnPuCmk0gkC&q=%22Thermococcus+hydrothermalis%22&pg=PA83|title=Marine Microorganisms for Industry|chapter=Thermostable α-glucosidase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus hydrothermalis|author1=Legin E.|author2=Barbier G.|author3=Duchiron F.|pages=83|date=1997-01-01|publisher=Editions Quae |isbn=2905434945|access-date=2016-09-29}}
