Properties of Thermostable DNA Polymerase Yufei TU Discovery--history of Taq DNA polymerase The original report of this enzyme, purified from the hot springs bacterium Thermus aquaticus, was published in 1976. Roughly 10 years later, the polymerase chain reaction was developed and shortly thereafter Taq became a household word in molecular biology circles. *THE DARNDEST PLACES: Scientists isolated the thermostable DNA polymerase Taq, an enzyme that drives PCR, from Thermus aquaticus Yellowstone type-1, a resident of geysers like thi
