Taxonomy: Bacteria; Thermotogae; Thermotogales; Thermotogaceae; Thermotoga (TaxID: 390874) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: Thermotoga petrophila (strain RKU-1 / ATCC BAA-488 / DSM 13995) is a motile, anaerobic, heterotrophic, rod-shaped bacterium. It possesses an outer sheath-like structure characteristic of the order Thermotogales. It grows between 47 and 88 degrees Celsius, with an optimum at 80 degrees and at pH between 5.2 and 9, with an optimum at 7.0. It reduces elemental sulfur to hydrogen sulfide. Thermotoga petrophila (strain RKU-1 / ATCC BAA-488 / DSM 13995) was isolated from a deep subterranean oil reservoir in Niigata, Japan.
