The fatty acid composition of Thermus spp., including T. aquaticus ATCC 25104, T. thermophilus DSM 579, T. flavus DSM 674, and seven wild strains was examined. Organisms were tested at a minimum of either 35, 40, or 45 degrees C and at an optimum of 60 or 70 degrees C.

The failure mode of each prism was d...
