Abstract
In taxonomy, Thermofilum is a genus of the Thermofilaceae.See the NCBI webpage on Thermofilales. Data extracted from the Thermofilum pendens is a hyperthermic member of the archael kingdom Crenarchaeota,Anderson I, Rodriguez J, Susanti D, Porat I, Reich C, Ulrich LE, Elkins JG, Mavromatis K, Lykidis A, Kim E, Thompson LS, Nolan M, Land M, Copeland A, Lapidus A, Lucas S, Detter C, Zhulin IB, Olsen GJ, Whitman W, Mukhopadhyay B, Bristow J, Kyrpides N. Genome sequence of Thermofilum pendens reveals an exceptional loss of biosynthetic pathways without genome reduction. J Bacteriol. 2008 Apr;190(8):2957-65. doi: 10.1128/JB.01949-07. Epub 2008 Feb 8. PMID: 18263724; PMCID: PMC2293246 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.Brown AM, Hoopes SL, White RH, Sarisky CA.
