Summary of Photolyases Studied

organism	optimal growth temperature (°C)	simulation temperature (°C)	classification
A. nidulans (PDB: 1QNF³⁴)	unknown^a	20^b	mesophile
E. coli (PDB: 1DNP¹⁵)	37	20 and 37	mesophile
T. thermophilus (PDB: 1IQR¹⁹)	~60	60	thermophile
S. tokodaii (PDB: 2E0I³⁵)	80	80	hyperthermophile

The A. nidulans crystal structure in the 1QNF file was obtained for the PCC 6301 strain of S. elongatus. Recently, an optimal growth temperature of 33 °C was reported for the PCC 7942 strain of this bacterium.³⁶
