Antibiotic-Producing Thermophilic Bacteria
In a new breakthrough, researchers have discovered thermophilic bacteria with strong antibiotic potential in the Rajgir hot spring in Nalanda, Bihar.
What are thermophiles?
- Thermophiles are heat-loving bacteria that thrive at 45°–70° C, temperatures that can burn human skin.
- They are commonly found in hot springs, thermal vents, compost piles, and even microwave ovens.
- Some produce powerful antibiotics to survive in low-competition, mineral-rich environments.
