Moorella perchloratireducens is a thermophilic, anaerobic, Gram-positive and endospore-forming bacterium from the genus Moorella , which has been isolated from an underground gas storage tank in Russia. One of the main characteristics of this microorganism is that it is able to completely reduce chlorate and perchlorate to chloride and oxygen. [2]
The Thermomicrobia is a group of thermophilic green non-sulfur bacteria. Based on species Thermomicrobium roseum and Sphaerobacter thermophilus, this bacteria class has the following description:
The Alicyclobacillaceae are a family of Gram-positive bacteria. All members of this family are aerobic and form endospores.
Thermus thermophilus is a Gram negative bacterium used in a range of biotechnological applications, including as a model organism for genetic manipulation, structural genomics, and systems biology. The bacterium is extremely thermophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of about 65 °C (149 °F). Thermus thermophilus was originally isolated from a thermal vent within a hot spring in Izu, Japan by Tairo Oshima and Kazutomo Imahori. The organism has also been found to be important in the degradation of organic materials in the thermogenic phase of composting. T. thermophilus is classified into several strains, of which HB8 and HB27 are the most commonly used in laboratory environments. Genome analyses of these strains were independently completed in 2004.
Thermoanaerobacter is a genus in the phylum Firmicutes (Bacteria). Members of this genus are thermophilic and anaerobic, several of them were previously described as Clostridium species and members of the now obsolete genera Acetogenium and Thermobacteroides
Armatimonadetes is a phylum of gram-negative bacteria.
Moorella thermoacetica, previously known as Clostridium thermoaceticum, is an acetogenic, thermophilic, strictly anaerobic, endospore-forming, bacterium belonging to the phylum Firmicutes.
Moorella is a genus of bacteria belonging to the phylum Firmicutes.
Moorella thermoautotrophica, previously known as Clostridium thermoautotrophicum, is a rod-shaped, endospore-forming bacterium belonging to the phylum Firmicutes. It is thermophilic, strictly anaerobic and acetogenic, and was isolated from a hot spring in Yellowstone National Park USA.
Desulfotomaculum geothermicum is a thermophilic, fatty acid-degrading, sulfate-reducing bacterium. Its cells are Gram-negative and form gas vacuoles during sporulation. Its type strain is BSD.
Thermicanus aegyptius is a microaerophile and thermophilic bacterium from the genus Thermicanus, which has been isolated from oxic soil in Egypt.
Tepidanaerobacter is a genus of anaerobic, moderately thermophilic, syntrophic bacteria from the family Thermoanaerobacteraceae.
Moorella glycerini is a thermophilic, homoacetogenic, anaerobic and endospore-forming bacterium from the genus Moorella, which has been isolated from a hot spring from the Calcite Spring area from the Yellowstone National Park in the United States. This microorganism utilizes glycerol as a growth substrate and is considered Gram-positive type.
Moorella humiferrea is a Gram-positive thermophilic, anaerobic and endospore-forming bacterium from the genus Moorella, which has been isolated from sediments from the Grot geyser, Valley of Geysers, Kamchatka, Russia. This microorganism is able to grow and reduce iron(III) oxide when small amounts of humic acid are available.
Moorella mulderi is a Gram-positive, thermophilic, homoacetogenic, anaerobic and spore-forming bacterium from the genus Moorella, which has been isolated from a sulfate reducing bioreactor in Wageningen in the Netherlands.
Moorella stamsii is a thermophilic and anaerobic bacterium from the genus Moorella, which has been isolated from the suspended sludge in a municipal solid waste digester in Barcelona, Spain.
Caloranaerobacter is a Gram-negative, thermophilic, anaerobic and chemoorganotrophic bacterial genus from the family of Clostridiaceae.
Caldanaerobius is a moderately thermophilic and anaerobic genus of bacteria from the family of Thermoanaerobacteraceae with one known species.
Tepidibacillus is a genus of bacteria from the family of Bacillaceae.
Tepidibacillus fermentans is a Gram-positive, moderately thermophilic, spore-forming and motile bacterium from the genus of Tepidibacillus which has been isolated from an underground gas storage in Severo-Stavropolskoye in Russia.
Effusibacillus pohliae is a species of Gram positive, aerobic, thermophilic bacterium. The cells are rod-shaped and form spores. It was first isolated from Mount Melbourne, Antarctica. The species is named after the genus of Pohlia nutans, a species of moss that was colonizing the area where the type strain was isolated. E. pohliae has also been isolated from a geothermal heat pump in South Korea.
