The obligate thermophilic bacteria Bacillus stearothermophilus (the optimal growth temperature 55-73 degrees C) and Thermus ruber (the optimal growth temperature 60 degrees C) were isolated from hot water springs of the Kunashir Island for the first time in a liquid mineral medium with paraffin. Some of the bacteria belonging to Bac. stearothermophilus grew at a high rate in a liquid medium with paraffin (strain 16); other strains (12a, 12b) were capable of growing only together with Thermus ruber; some strains could grow only on a solid medium with paraffin (strains 14a, 14b).
嗜热芽孢杆菌（最适生长温度55 - 73摄氏度）和红栖热菌（最适生长温度60摄氏度）这两种嗜热菌首次在含有石蜡的液体矿物培养基中从国后岛的温泉中分离出来。嗜热芽孢杆菌属的一些细菌在含有石蜡的液体培养基中生长速度很快（菌株16）；其他菌株（12a、12b）只能与红栖热菌一起生长；一些菌株只能在含有石蜡的固体培养基上生长（菌株14a、14b）。
