  Thermus - MicrobeWiki
Thermus bacteria cells are a Gram-negative bacteria and are "either immotile or possess flagella and are motile" (R. Huber et al.
Thermus is assumed to have a pilus-like structure for conjugation, though the molecular basis of the DNA uptake is still unknown.
Thermus strains often use monosaccharides as a source for single carbons, though typically pentoses is not metabolized.

 Life at High TemperaturesLife at High Temperatures
The bacterium Thermus aquaticus was first discovered in several springs in the Great Fountain area of the Lower Geyser Basin.
Here Thermus aquaticus is living on tiny amounts of organic matter present in the source water, making it visible to the naked eye.
At the time of the discovery, this spring was hotter than it is today, and its outflow was 70 degrees C (158 degrees F), the optimum temperature of Thermus aquaticus.

 Title of Invention: Xylose isomerase gene of Thermu s aquaticus
The present invention relates to xylose isomerase genes of Thermus bacteria, especially Thermus aquaticus (hereinafter abbreviated as T. aquaticus), xylose isomerase produced by genetic engineering using the genes, a process for preparation of a xylose isomerase and a process for preparation of highly concentrated fructose using the xylose isomerase.
It has been reported that T. aquaticus produces a xylose isomerase (see, Journal of General Microbiology (1990), 136, 679-686), which was proven by the inventors to be a different enzyme from the enzyme produced by the present method in molecular weight, N-terminal amino acid sequence and others.
Moreover, it was found that the xylose isomerase of T. aquaticus made by the genetic engineering method was unexpectedly different from the native xylose isomerase obtained from T. aquaticus and had excellent characteristics compared to the native one (see, Journal of General Microbiology (1990), 136, 679-686).

 Thermus aquaticus
Der Artikel Thermus aquaticus gehört zur Kategorie: Bakterien
Thermus aquaticus gehört zu den thermophilen (wärmeliebenden) Bakterien und lebt in heißen Quellen und Geysiren beispielsweise im Yellowstone-Nationalpark.
Die Umgebungstemperatur in diesen Quellen liegt bei etwa 50-80 °C. aquaticus wurde vor allem durch ihre hitzestabile DNA-Polymerase (nach seinem Namen auch als Taq-Polymerase oder kurz Taq-Pol bezeichnet) in wissenschaftlichen Kreisen weltberühmt, welche die Vervielfältigung der Erbsubstanz DNA (Polymerase-Kettenreaktion - PCR) enorm vereinfachte und so ihren weltweiten Siegeszug ermöglichte.

 The Microbiology of Thermus Aquaticus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Three girls asked themselves a question, "I wonder if the bacteria, Thermus Aquaticus, found in our hot springs is the same as the Thermus found around the world." This question was extremely important because if the conclusion was that the bacteria was unique, it would be like witnessing evolution in process.
The purpose of our project is to determine whether or not the Thermus Aquaticus, found in our own Vulcan Hotsprings, is genetically unique to Thermus Aquaticus found around the world.
Thermus cells have to be lysed, and DNA from the cells must be purified and sequenced.

Although the thermophilic fungi play a major role in degrading cellulose and other major polymers in composts, the activities of bacteria also are important.
In 1996 it was reported that composts of many different types (garden and kitchen wastes, sewage sludge, industrial composting systems) contain high numbers of bacteria of the genus Thermus which grow on organic substrates at temperatures from 40-80
Thus, it seems that Thermus species, previously known only from geothermal sites, have probably adapted to the hot-compost system and play a major role in the peak-heating phase.
