Abstract

An overview of the genome analyses of (hyper)thermophilic archaea and bacteria has been provided in this chapter. Basic information such as the species with published genome sequences, their genome size, and predicted gene number are presented. Genes that are specifically present on the genomes of (hyper)thermophiles are described. Various strategies to utilize the genome sequences for novel enzyme discovery are discussed with several examples. A brief overview of the wide range of omics research that has been performed with (hyper)thermophiles is also briefly dealt with.
