Deinococcus radiodurans does not form endospores and is nonmotile. It is an obligate aerobic chemoorganoheterotroph, i.e., it uses oxygen to derive energy from organic compounds in its environment. It is often found in habitats rich in organic materials, such as sewage, meat, feces, or, soil, but has also been isolated from medical instruments ...

For specimens known only from fossils , the rigorous analysis of characters to determine evolutionary relationships between different groups of animals ( clades ) proved incredibly useful.
