title: [Nucleotide makeup of the DNA of thermophilic bacteria of the genus Thermus].
abstract: The nucleotide composition of DNA was determined in extreme thermophilic and obligate thermophilic nonsporeforming bacteria belonging to a new genus Thermus. The GC content (in mol%) in the DNA of exteme thermophilic bacteria varied from 65.3 to 70.8 per cent depending on the strain. The amount of GC (in mol% in the DNA of obligate thermophilic and extreme thermophilic bacteria of the Thermus genus was higher than that in the DNA of sporeforming obligate thermophilic Bac. coagulans. Bac. circulans and Bac. stearothermophilus.
