A hyperthermophile is an organism that thrives in extremely hot environments—from 60 °C (140 °F) upwards. An optimal temperature for the existence of hyperthermophiles is often above 80 °C (176 °F). [1] Hyperthermophiles are often within the domain Archaea, although some bacteria are also able to
One classification sorts these organisms according to their optimal growth temperatures: [6] Simple thermophiles: 50–64 °C (122–147 °F) Extreme thermophiles 65–79 °C (149–174 °F) Hyperthermophiles 80 °C (176 °F) and beyond, but not below 50 °C (122 °F) In a related classification, thermophiles are sorted as follows:
The Thermotogota are a phylum of the domain Bacteria. The phylum contains a single class, Thermotogae. The phylum Thermotogota is composed of Gram-negative staining, anaerobic, and mostly thermophilic and hyperthermophilic bacteria. [2] [3] It is the sole phylum in the kingdom Thermotogati. [4]
Thermus aquaticus is a species of bacteria that can tolerate high temperatures, one of several thermophilic bacteria that belong to the Deinococcota phylum. It is the source of the heat-resistant enzyme Taq DNA polymerase, one of the most important enzymes in molecular biology because of its use in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) DNA amplification technique.
Pyrococcus furiosus is a strictly anaerobic, heterotrophic, sulfur-reducing archaea originally isolated from heated sediments in Vulcano, Italy by Fiala and Stetter. It is noted for its rapid doubling time of 37 minutes under optimal conditions, meaning that every 37 minutes the number of individual organisms is multiplied by two, yielding an exponential growth curve.
[1] [2] P. fumarii is known as a hyperthermophile obligately chemolithoautotroph. In the simplest terms, this archaea grows best in warm temperatures ranging from 80 °C to 115 °C. [3] [4] It also uses preformed molecules as its energy source rather than light, inorganic as an electron donor, and CO 2 is used as a carbon source.
Improves breath: If you frequently experience bad breath, bacteria is usually the culprit. Swishing an edible oil around in your mouth that targets sulfur-producing microbes may help, says. Dr ...
[2] [3] [4] It is an anaerobic organotroph hyperthermophile that is between 0.5–3.0 μm (20–118 μin) in diameter. [2] Like the other species in the order thermococcales, T. litoralis is an irregular hyperthermophile coccus that grows between 55–100 °C (131–212 °F). [2] Unlike many other thermococci, T. litoralis is non-motile.
