Thermophilic Organisms. Chloroflexus aurantiacus is a photosynthetic bacterium isolated from hot springs, belonging to the green non-sulfur bacteria. This organism is thermophilic and can grow at temperatures from 35 to 70 °C (95 to 158 °F). Chloroflexus aurantiacus can survive in the dark if oxygen is available.
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.
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.
The paper and the chapter in Bergey's manual were authored by several authors including the microbiologists Karl Stetter and Carl Woese. [2]The Neo-Latin feminine name "thermotoga" means "the hot outer garment", being a combination of the Greek noun θέρμη (therme, heat) [7] or more correctly the adjective θερμός, ή, όν (thermos, e, on, hot) [8] and the Latin feminine noun toga ...
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).
[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 ...
Extremophiles that prefer cold environments are termed psychrophilic, those preferring warmer temperatures are termed thermophilic or thermotropic and those thriving in extremely hot environments are hyperthermophilic. A genome-wide computational approach has been designed by Zheng, et al. to classify bacteria into mesophilic and thermophilic. [3]
In taxonomy, Thermococcus is a genus of thermophilic Archaea in the family the Thermococcaceae. [1] Members of the genus Thermococcus are typically irregularly shaped coccoid species, ranging in size from 0.6 to 2.0 μm in diameter. [2] Some species of Thermococcus are immobile, and some species have motility, using flagella as their main mode ...
