Thermofilum is a genus of archaea in the family Thermofilaceae.[2]
Thermofilum pendens is a hyperthermic member of the archael kingdom Crenarchaeota,[3] and represents a deep branch in the order Thermoproteales. T. pendens lacks the genes for purine nucleotide biosynthesis and thus relies on environmental sources to meet its purine requirements.[4][3]
