species of bacterium

Fervidicoccus fontis is an extremophilic, coccus-shaped archaeaon known for thriving in high-temperature environments. It was discovered in Russia's Uzon Caldera and exhibits anaerobic, organotrophic metabolism, primarily fermenting organic compounds such as peptides and yeast extract. F. fontis is genetically distinct, sharing no more than 89% of its genetic material with its closest relatives. It is the sole species within the order Fervidicoccales and genus Fervidicoccus, although ongoing research suggests potential new species. It plays a significant role in biotechnological applications d
