Caldicellulosiruptor bescii is a species of thermophilic, anaerobic cellulolytic bacteria. It was isolated from a geothermally heated freshwater pool in the Valley of Geysers on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia in 1990.[2] The species was originally named Anaerocellum thermophilum, but reclassified in 2010,[1] based on genomic data.
