Thermofilum is a genus of archaea in the family Thermofilaceae. ^[2]

Thermofilum pendens is a hyperthermic member of the archael kingdom Crenarchaeota, ^[3] and represents a deep branch in the order Thermoproteales. T. pendens lacks the genes for purine nucleotide biosynthesis and thus relies on environmental sources to meet its purine requirements. ^{[4] [3]}

Taxonomy

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) ^[1] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). ^[2]

16S rRNA based LTP_10_2024 [5] [6] [7]	53 marker proteins based GTDB 09-RS220 [8] [9] [10]
