Species

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]

Taxonomy

Cladogram was taken from Annotree v1.2.0.[4][5] which uses the GTDB 05-RS95 (Genome Taxonomy Database).[6][7]
