Genome of a thermophilic bacterium Geobacillus sp. TFV3 from Deception Island, Antarctica

Thermophilic microorganisms have always been an important part of the ecosystem, particularly in a hot environment, as they play a key role in nutrient recycling at high temperatures where most microorganisms cannot cope. While most of the thermophiles are archaea, thermophiles can also be found amo...
