Using different molecular biology techniques, Stetter et al. [43] discovered that hyperthermophilic (heat-loving) Archaea isolated from Alaskan oil reservoirs showed a high degree of DNA – DNA reassociation with selected Archaeoglobus, Thermococcus, and Pyrococcus species, and concluded that the species were the same as those from European thermal marine sources.
