Thermotoga are thermophile or hyperthermophile bacteria whose cell is wrapped in an outer "toga" membrane. They were named by microbiologist Karl Stetter. They metabolize carbohydrates. Species have varying amounts of salt and oxygen tolerance.

T. subterranea strain SL1 was found in a 70°C deep continental oil reservoir in the East Paris Basin, France. It is anaerobic and reduces cystine and thiosulfate to hydrogen sulfide.
Scientific classification or biological classification is a method by which biologists group and categorize species of organisms. Scientific classification also can be called scientific taxonomy, but should be distinguished from folk taxonomy, which lacks scientific basis.

thermophile is an organism – a type of extremophile – which thrives at relatively high temperatures, above 45 °C. Many thermophiles are archaea.

Thermophiles are found in various geothermally heated regions of the Earth such as hot springs like those in

hyperthermophile is an organism that thrives in extremely hot environments — that is, hotter than around 60°C, with an optimal temperature above 80°C. The most heat-tolerant hyperthermophile is the recently-discovered Strain 121

anaerobic organism is any organism that does not require oxygen for growth.
  • Obligate anaerobes will die when exposed to atmospheric levels of oxygen.
  • Facultative anaerobes can use oxygen when it is present.

Cystine is the amino acid described by the formula (SCH2CH(NH2)CO2H)2. This colorless solid melts at 247 -249 °C. It forms upon oxidation of a pair of cysteine molecules.

Thiosulfate (S2O32−) is an oxyanion of sulfur produced by the reaction of sulfite ions with elemental sulfur in boiling water. Thiosulfate occurs naturally in hot springs and geysers, and is produced by certain biochemical processes.
