Thermus is a genus of thermophilic bacteria. It is one of several bacteria belonging to the Deinococcota phylum. Thermus species can be distinguished from other genera in the family Thermaceae as well as all other bacteria by the presence of eight conserved signature indels (CSIs) found in proteins such as adenylate kinase and replicative DNA helicase as well as 14 conserved signature proteins (CSPs) that are exclusively shared by members of this genus.[1]

It includes the following species:[2][3][4]

  • Thermus antranikianii Chung, Rainey, Valente, Nobre, & da Costa, 2000[6]

  • Thermus thermophilus (ex Oshima and Imahori 1974) Manaia et al. 1995[18]

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) [19] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)[20] and the phylogeny is based on 16S rRNA-based LTP release 132 by 'The All-Species Living Tree' Project.[21]
