Biology:Thermofilum

From HandWiki

Thermofilum is a genus of archaea in the family Thermofilaceae.[1]

Thermofilum pendens is a hyperthermic member of the archael kingdom Crenarchaeota,[2] 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.[3][2]

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)[4] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).[1]
