Abstract
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. It includes the following species:
"T. caldophilus" * Taguchi et al. 1983 "T. eggertssonii" * Peters 2008 "T. kawarayensis" * Kurosawa et al. 2005 "T. murrieta" * Benner et al. 2006 "T. nonproteolyticus" * 1992 "T. parvatiensis" * Dwivedi et al. 2015 "T. rehai" * Lin et al. 2002 "T. yunnanensis" * Gong et al. 2005 Thermus amyloliquefaciens Yu et al. 2015 Thermus antranikianii Chung, Rainey, Valente, Nobre, & da Costa, 2000 Thermus aquaticus Brock & Freeze, 1969 Thermus arciformis Zhang et al. 2010 Thermus brockianus Williams et al. 1995 Thermus caldifontis Khan et al. 2017 Thermus caliditerrae Ming et al. 2014 Thermus chliarophilus Tenreiro et al. 1995 Thermus composti Vajna et al. 2012 Thermus filiformis Hudson et al. 1987 Thermus igniterrae Chung, Rainey, Valente, Nobre, & da Costa, 2000 Thermus islandicus Bjornsdottir et al. 2009 Thermus oshimai Williams et al. 1996 Thermus scotoductus Kristjánsson, Hjörleifsdóttir, Marteinsson, & Alfredsson, 1994 Thermus tengchongensis Yu, Yao, Ming, Yin, Zhou, Liu, Tang & Li, 2013 Thermus thermophilus (ex Oshima and Imahori 1974) Manaia et al. 1995

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