[6] Thermodesulfobacterium hveragerdense is a thermophile, which means that it thrives at high temperatures.

It is found in aquatic niches where the temperature is very high and where there is an abundance of sulfur deposits.

[5] Thermodesulfobacterium hveragerdense inhabits bacterial mats and, hence, it lacks a flagellum for mobility.

[7] The bilayer also contains minute amounts of diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG) compounds in it, mainly phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, and aminopentanetetral.

[10] The genome consists of 1.7 million base pairs(Mbp), and contained a total of 1,810 genes.
