Why I'm doing this? Why Vulcanisaeta souniana?
Actually this Archaea was assigned to me by my respected
Introductory Microbiology lecturer, Sr. Zaima Azira Zainal Abidin. 
This is our semester-length assignment for that subject where 
every student get a microorganism and were asked to find information 
about 'their' microbes. 


But then, why should I re-established that assignment?
Well, when we were given the task to build a website by our 
respected lecturer, Dr. Ibrahim Ali Noorbatcha, I wonder about 
what I want to share with my classmates and also the rest of the world.

 

Then I remember how though for me to find informations about 
my microbe, V. souniana. So, here I try to present all the pieces 
of information I gathered in my previous assignment in a simpler way, 
so that not only science students can understand it, but anyone who 
visits my website. Islam always teaches us to seek beneficial 
knowledges and share them with others. 
The more you give, the more you get back. 



I hope through this way, I can help others who wish to learn something 
about the world. This is also my first step as a scientist-to-be, 
in learning how to find information and present it in scientific and 
interesting way. For any comments or suggestion, please click .

Acknowledgements
Here I want to acknowledge Takashi Itoh, Ken-ichiro Suzuki, and 
Takashi Nakase for their journal:

Vulcanisaeta distributa gen. nov., sp. nov., and 
Vulcanisaeta souniana sp. nov., novel hyperthermophilic, 
rod-shaped crenarchaeotes isolated from hot springs in Japan.
IJSEM, (2002), 52, 1097-1104.

Which is my main reference in this website and also my Microbe 
assignment. They are the scientist who first isolate V. souniana 
and also proposed its naming and classification.
