Abstract
The invention provides purified thermostable enzymes derived from various extremophilic prokaryotic organisms. The enzymes have polymerase activity and can be used to catalyze DNA synthesis by addition of deoxynucleotides to the 3' end of a polynucleotide chain, using a complementary polynucleotide strands as a template.
