Geobacillus jurassicus

Geobacillus jurassicus is a thermophilic bacterium first isolated from a high-temperature petroleum reservoir.[1][2] It is aerobic, gram-positive, rod-shaped, moderately thermophilic, chemoorganotrophic, and endospore-forming, with type species DS1T (=VKM B-2301T, =DSM 15726T).
