Best Answer

Most likely intended as a variation of Bacillus stearothermophilus which is a Bacillus that can survive very high temperatures.

However in the question, since b in the word bacillus is in a lower case, it may refer to any rod shaped bacteria and thermophilus implies heat tolerance. These include several Bacillus sp., Thermus thermophilus, Alicyclobacilli, Lactobacillus acidophilus or bulgaricus (not extremophiles, but can survive a little heat), and others. New ones are frequently discovered.
