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 ...

“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 ...

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 ...

This game-changing bacterium is called Thermus aquaticus, and it can withstand temperatures as high as 80°C. It's an example ...

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 ...

For example, in the 1960s, U.S. researchers isolated a new species of bacteria from a hot spring at Yellowstone National Park and named it Thermus aquaticus. This microbe is able to produce a heat ...

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 ...

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 ...
