Thermotoga maritima is a hyperthermophilic organism that is a member of the order Thermotogales. Thermotoga maritima is the only bacterium known to grow at this high a temperature; the only other organisms known to live in environments this extreme are members of the domain Archaea First discovered in the sediment of a marine geothermal area near Vulcano, Italy, Thermotoga maritima resides in hot springs as well as hydrothermal vents. The ideal environment for the organism is a water temperature of 80 °C (176 °F), though it is capable of growing in waters of 55–90 °C The genome of T. maritima consists of a single circular 1.8 megabase chromosome encoding for 1877 proteins.
