Currently available thermophilic Bacillus genomes are shown, as well as a selection of genomes of mesophilic model organisms
*Sequence not fully closed
^aGC% of chromosome and plasmid combined as weighted average
^bOpen Reading Frames as a total on chromosome and plasmid(s)
^cMP: mesophile, TP: thermophile, TT: thermotolerant (grows at mesophilic as well as thermophilic temperatures)
