Thermocrinis minervae

Thermocrinis minervae is a bacterium. Its cells are gram-negative and are approximately 2.4–3.9 micrometres long and 0.5–0.6 micrometres wide; they are motile rods with polar flagella. It grows in temperatures between 65 °C (149 °F) and 85 °C (185 °F). Its type strain is CR11T (=5DSM 19557T =5ATCC BAA-1533T).[1]
