Although growth at temperatures up to 85 degrees Celsius have been noted, the optimum growth temperature is 75 degrees Celsius. C. bescii was originally grouped in the Anaerocellum thermophilum because of growth physiology, cell wall type and morphology. 16S rRNA sequencing later showed distinguishable differences that are responsible for placement in the Caldicellulosiruptor clade. C. besci is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium notable for its ability use a variety of polymeric carbohydrates and di- and monosaccharides to produce H2, acetate, lactate, and trace amounts of ethanol.C. bescii has been selected for study by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Georgia's Department of Genetics for its ability to degrade cellulose.
