, the Thermoproteales are an
order of the
Thermoprotei. They are the only organisms known to lack the
SSB proteins, instead possessing the protein
ThermoDBP that has displaced them.
The rRNA genes of these organisms contain multiple introns, which can be homing endonuclease encoding genes, and their presence can impact the binding of "universal" 16S rRNA primers often used in environmental sequencing surveys.
