  Thermophile
A type of extremophile, a thermophile is an organism which thrives at high temperatures.
Thermophiles have been found in various geothermally heated regions of the earth.
Due to their living conditions, thermophiles contain enzymes that are working at high temperature.

 Thermophile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thermophiles have been found in various geothermally heated regions of the Earth such as hot springs like those in Yellowstone National Park (see image) and deep sea hydrothermal vents.
In addition, the study of proteins from thermophilic organisms has provided important insight into the mechanism of protein folding because these proteins must be stable at temperatures that would denature typical proteins.
Thermophiles are heat-loving (hence the name), with an optimum growth temperature of 50 °C or more, a maximum of up to 70 °C or more, and a minimum of about 20 °C, but these are only approximate.

A key thermophilic adaptation of an organism is the presence of heat stable proteins.
Thermophilic archaea have ether-linked, branched chain fatty acids that are more hydrophobic still.
Capable of thriving at even higher temperatures than thermophiles are hyperthermophiles.

The present invention relates to a novel obligately symbiotic thermophile producing thermostable L-tyrosine phenol-lyase and L-tryptophan indole-lyase and relates to a method for screening the relative bacteria of the novel obligately symbiotic thermophile.
Particulary, the present invention relates to a novel obligately symbiotic thermophile, Symbiobacterium toebii SC-1 isolated from a high-temperature environment; to two enzymes, thermostable L-tyrosine phenol-lyase and L-tryptophan indole-lyase, produced by Symbiobacterium toebii SC-1 which is cultivated by a pure culture method without mixed culture of its symbiotic partner, Bacillus sp.
It is a further objective of this invention to provide a screening method for relative symbiotic bacteria of the novel obligately symbiotic thermophile from the environment using a specific antibody.

Many thermophiles have a simple diet, based solely on the metals, gases and minerals that comprise the hydrothermal vent fluid.
Thermophiles are also useful to us on a daily basis.
The thermophilic DNA enzyme Taq polymerase, an enzyme that makes many copies of DNA pieces, was first obtained from the thermophile Thermus aquaticus from Yellowstone National Park.

By their combined activities, these fungi bring about a major phase of decomposition of plant cell-wall materials such as cellulose and hemicelluloses, so that the dry weight of the compost can be halved during the relatively high temperature phase lasting 20 days or more after peak heating.
Although the thermophilic fungi play a major role in degrading cellulose and other major polymers in composts, the activities of bacteria also are important.

 Hot Spring Microcosm
As development of geothermal energy becomes an increasingly attractive alternative to fossil fuels, dams and nuclear energy it is imperative that we understand and value the thermophilic biota well enough to prevent the demise of the fragile ecosystems that support it.
Scientific study of geothermal ecosystems and their thermophilic biota would be greatly facilitated by construction of a laboratory microcosm.
Thermophilic organisms will be isolated and cultured, and studied under various co-cultural combinations.

 thermophile
thermophile An organism which is adapted to high temperatures, such as in hot springs and geysers, smoker vents on the sea floor, and domestic hot water pipes.
A wide range of bacteria, fungi and simple plants and animals can grow at temperature up to 50 °C; thermophiles grow and reproduce at above 50 °C. They can be classified, according to their optimal growth temperature, into simple thermophiles (50-65 °C); thermophiles (65-85 °C), and extreme thermophiles (>85 °C).
Thermophile might the class of choice for you.

The organising committee is pleased to invite you to participate in the Thermophiles 2005 International Conference which will be held at the Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia from 18th to 22nd September 2005.
After the very successful New Zealand conference in 1993, Thermophiles 2005 is only the second such meeting in the Southern hemisphere.
It will be an exciting opportunity for the colleagues of the Northern hemisphere to enjoy the scientific content of the conference as well as the remarkable and breathtaking natural beauty of Australia.

Thermophiles are organisms which have adapted over millions of year to extreme temperature and chemical compositions and exist in hot springs and other geothermal resources.
While NEPA and CEQA apply in federal and state geothermal resource development respectively, thermophile biodiversity is significantly threatened due to a lack of knowledge and classification of thermophile species.
California law under the Public Resources Code provides for the prevention of damage to geothermal deposits, reservoirs and water, but not for the species that live in them.

 Archaea
They like to live in boiling water, like the geysers of Yellowstone Park, and inside volcanoes.
They like the heat so much that it has earned the nickname "thermophile", which means "loving heat", and it would probably freeze to death at ordinary room temperature.
Other extremophile Archaea love to live in very salty, called hypersaline, environments.
