Pyrococcus horikoshii is a hyperthermophilic, anaerobic archaeon, first isolated from hydrothermal fluid samples obtained at the Okinawa Trough vents at a depth of {{convert|1395|m|ft}}. It is obligately heterotrophic, cells are irregular cocci with a tuft of flagella, growing optimally at 98 °C, sulphur greatly enhancing its growth.{{cite journal|display-authors=4|last1=González|first1=Juan M.|last2=Masuchi|first2=Yaeko|last3=Robb|first3=F.
