Methanothermobacter marburgensis is a thermophilic and obligately autotrophic methanogenic archaeon. The type strain Marburg T was isolated from sewage sludge in the vicinity of the city Marburg, Germany. [1] It was also detected in hot springs.
Thermophilic fungi have been reported from a number of habitats, with most of them belonging to the fungal order Sordariales. [9] Thermophilic fungi have great biotechnological potential due to their ability to produce industrial-relevant thermostable enzymes, in particular for the degradation of plant biomass.
Hydrogenobacter thermophilus is an extremely thermophilic, straight rod bacterium. [2] TK-6 is the type strain for this species. [2] It is a Gram negative, non-motile, obligate chemolithoautotroph. [2] It belongs to one of the earliest branching order of Bacteria. [3] H. thermophilus TK-6 lives in soil that contains hot water. [2]
As thermophilic bacteria, members of this class are usually found in environments which are distant from human activity. [5] However, they have features like improved growth in antibiotics and CO oxidizing activity, making them interesting topics of research (e.g. for biotechnology application).
Streptococcus thermophilus formerly known as Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus [2] [1] is a gram-positive bacterium, and a fermentative facultative anaerobe, of the viridans group. [3] It tests negative for cytochrome, oxidase, and catalase, and positive for alpha-hemolytic activity. [3] It is non-motile and does not form endospores. [3]
Thermus thermophilus is a Gram-negative bacterium with an outer membrane that is composed of phospholipids and lipopolysaccharides.This bacterium also has a thin peptidoglycan (also known as murein) layer, in this layer there are 29 muropeptides which account for more than 85% of the total murein layer.
Due to the thermophilic nature of S. thermophilum, areas that are ideal for the survival of the bacteria would be ones that have increased temperatures and are nutrient dense. [4] The habitats that are most suited for S. thermophilum would be in the intestinal tract of animals and also in composts. [ 4 ]
[3] [7] [8] Because of the ability of some Thermotogota species to thrive at high temperatures, they are considered attractive targets for use in industrial processes. [9] The metabolic ability of Thermotogota to utilize different complex-carbohydrates for production of hydrogen gas led to these species being cited as a possible ...
