Abstract
Thermophilic bacteria resembling
Thermus aquaticus
were isolated from hot water taken from domestic and commercial hot-water tanks. Cold water from the same locations never yielded thermophilic bacteria, suggesting that the bacteria were growing in the tanks. In contrast to the
T. aquaticus
isolates from hot springs, the present isolates were rarely pigmented. In general, the hotter sources more frequently yielded bacteria.
