👉 Thermotoga is a type of bacteria that primarily lives in warm environments, particularly in aquatic systems like oceans and lakes. They are found in both freshwater and marine habitats, where they can thrive due to their high metabolic rates and ability to convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Thermotoga are known for their role in the production of oxygen in aquatic ecosystems, as well as their contribution to nutrient cycling and decomposition processes.
