Discovering antibiotic-producing bacteria in hot springs, like those in India, offers hope in the fight against antimicrobial ...

Brock named it Thermus aquaticus. The discovery of this hardy bacteria revolutionized the fields of biology and medicine. "A lot of people thought (the research) was kind of a specialized sort ...

It was the beginning of research that led to a revolutionary find in 1966: a species of bacteria that he called Thermus aquaticus, which thrived at 70 degrees Celsius (158 degrees Fahrenheit ...

The heat-loving bacteria Thermus aquaticus is the most famous Yellowstone microbe; it makes an enzyme that researchers use in genetics labs to make copies of DNA. Other Yellowstone microbes eat ...

“In almost all of them, we got bacteria,” Brock says. The discovery of one of the species, Thermus aquaticus, would go on to revolutionize molecular biology by giving scientists a new tool to ...

The bacteria broke down the waste using anaerobic ... The researchers were also able to grow the edible Thermus aquaticus at 158 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature is high enough to kill most ...

DNA sequencing was revolutionized after scientists discovered a new bacterium in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park, and today it's a common research technique. This game-changing ...

In 1966, Brock and an undergraduate student, Hudson Freeze, discovered a new bacteria that thrived in waters above 70 degrees Celsius. Brock named it Thermus aquaticus. The discovery of this ...
